11. _Bioflavonoids; superoxide dismutase glutathione. 12. Superoxide dismutase is known to reverse fibrosis, perhaps through reversion of myofibroblasts back to fibroblasts. 13. Paraquat-fed flies suffer early-onset mortality and significant increases in superoxide dismutase activity. 14. 2 ) Does that sentence contradict " Actovegin has large amounts of superoxide dismutase enzymes "? 15. Nickel superoxide dismutase is an incredibly efficient enzyme, indicating the redox mechanism is very fast. 16. Irwin Fridovich and Joe McCord at Duke University discovered the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase in 1968. 17. Copper is needed by the body for a dopamine ?-hydroxylase, superoxide dismutase and tyrosinase. 18. In turn, micro-organisms genetically engineered to lack superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) lose virulence. 19. In mice, the extracellular superoxide dismutase ( SOD3, ecSOD ) contributes to the development of hypertension. 20. The best studied cellular antioxidants are the enzymes superoxide dismutase ( SOD ), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.
