CuZn-SOD deficiency causes ApoB degradation and induces hepatic lipid accumulation by impaired lipoprotein secretion in mice.

Abstract excerpt

Elevated hepatic reactive oxygen species play an important role in pathogenesis of liver diseases, such as alcohol-induced liver injury, hepatitis C virus infection, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. In the present study, we investigated and compared the hepatic lipid metabolisms of liver-specific Sod2 (superoxide dismutase 2) knock-out (Sod2 KO), Sod1 knock-out (Sod1 KO), and Sod1/liver-specific Sod2 double...
