[ Method] Strain YC and 01-23T of S. turcica with different pathogenicity were inoculated into corn leaves by fungal disc inoculation method, and the dynamic changes of SOD activity in infected corn leaves was measured. [Result] After inoculation of higly virulent strain YC and weakly virulent strain 01-23T of S. turcica, SOD activity in corn leaves within 1 -5 d showed obvious stages, which gradually decreased within 1 -3 d, then gradually increased within 3 -4 d, and decreased again within 4 -5 d. The SOD activity of corn leaves in inoculation treatment was higher than that in the treatment without inoculation within 1 - 4 d, which significantly decreased at fifth day. The pathogen with different pathogenicity would lead to different changes in SOD activity of corn leaves. SOD activity of corn leaves infected by weakly virulent strain 01-23T for the first day was extremely higher than that infected by strong virulent strain YC, but had no significant difference with highly virulent strain YC at 2 -3 d. [ Conclusion] SOD activity played an important role in initial resistant ability of corn against pathogen infection, and had no significant effect on resistance against pathogen extension after incidence.展开更多

A partially purified protein with Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)-like activity extracted from leaves of Raphnus sativus was tested for its ability to down regulate liver metastasis of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma Cell (EAC) intraperitoneally implanted in albino mice. Sixty albino mice were divided equally into 4 groups. Group I mice (G1 control) were treated with physiologic saline solution for 7 days. Group 2 mice (G2) were injected with the partially purified protein. Group 3 mice (G3) were intraperitoneally inoculated with EAC cells and treated with the partially purified protein. Group 4 mice (G4) were inoculated EAC cells and treated with physiologic saline solution. The results showed a disturbance in liver functions. This disturbance was observed as a reduction in the values of serum albumin, hemoglobin, total counts of erythrocytes and platelets, total lipids in liver tissues, erythrocytes SOD activity, serum glucose, reduced glutathione (GSH) and the trace elements (Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu) contents in liver and spleen tissues as well as the elevation of serum transaminases activities, the levels of malondialdehyde in blood, DNA and RNA of liver tissues in the infected mice (G4). On the other hand, in G3, after treatment with the partial purified protein all these parameters restored their normal values and became near from the normal group (GI). Moreover, the protein showed no toxicity towards the mice as shown in G2. It could be concluded that a partially purified protein with Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)-like activity extracted from leaves of Raphnus sativus as a nature source has a promised future in controlling liver metastasis.展开更多

The results showed that SOD activities of almost all the herbicide treatments on different rice varieties increased during 15 days after treatment (DAT). SOD activity of rice plants reached a maximum at 10 DAT, began to decline at 15 DAT and then recovered to the control level at 21 DAT. The SOD activity of rice plants at 2 days after the second application of pesticides (spraying with insecticide-bisultap or fungicide-jing-ganmycin at 22 days after herbicide treatments) (2 DAST) increased and declined at 6 DAST in comparison with that of the control, indicating that two applications of pesticides had a more serious impact on rice plants compared with one application. SOD activity of rice plants may be an index of rice plant resistance.展开更多

The results obtained show that Mn-SOD activity exhibits most evidently in lung cancer tissues, less evidently in peripheral tissues around the lung cancer, but the least in normal peripheral lung tissues, indicating a declined tendency as definitely proved by statistical treatment (P<0.01). In addition, LPO values are found to be lower in lung cancer tissues than those in normal peripheral tissues.展开更多

In this report, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities produced by these bacteria were measured, and the change of SOD and CAT activities by 20 keV N+ beam exposure was examined. Their activities were increased by N+ beam exposure from 8x 1014 ions/cm2 to 6x1015 ions/cm2.The treatment of H2O2 and [ CHC13 +CH3 CH2OH ] and the measurement of absorption spectrum showed that the increase in SOD activity was resulted from inducible activities of MnSOD in D. radiodurans AS1.633 by N+ beam exposure . These results suggested that this bacteria possess inducible defense mechanisms against the deleterious effects of oxidization.展开更多
