Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), an enzyme that catalyzes superoxide radical quenching, is hypothesized to protect against premature aging. A C47T transition in the MnSOD gene may affect the enzyme's distribution to the mitochondrion, a site of high oxidative st...
