摘要: Since their discovery by McCord and Fridovich the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes have been of particular interest to field aging. The Drosophila SOD genes are required for normal oxidative stress resistance life span, targets investigation mechanisms ability affect span is dependent upon genetic background, including sex animal, as well dietary environment. There increasing understanding role SODs in signaling pathways that modulate Cu/ZnSOD important linking diet MnSOD can activate mitochondrial unfolded protein response increase span. also survival models human disease. conservation functions combined with availability powerful transgenic technologies promises keep at forefront research on aging SOD.
