UPREGULATION OF SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE 2 BY ASTROCYTES IN THE SIV/MACAQUE MODEL OF HIV-ASSOCIATED NEUROLOGIC DISEASE
2020-05-06
Abstract excerpt
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remain prevalent despite implementation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Development of HAND is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in the brain; therefore, upregulation of antioxidant defenses is critical to curtail neuronal damage. Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is a mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme essential for maintaining cellular viability. W...
