Abstract excerpt
Over 15 years of research on correlations between superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and aging or life span have failed to provide a consistent picture of the role of SOD in aging. While genetic manipulations that increase CuZn-SOD activity have only a slight, if any, effect on maximum life span in several species, they do increase resistance to oxidative stress. However, increasing both CuZn-SOD and catalase...
