Abstract excerpt
Copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) catalyses the conversion of O2.- into H2O2. Constitutive overexpression of CuZnSOD in cells and animals creates an indigenous oxidative stress that predisposes them to added insults. In this study, we used transgenic CuZnSOD (Tg-CuZnSOD) mice with elevated levels of CuZnSOD to determine whether overexpression of CuZnSOD affected the susceptibility of these mice to...
