A Review of the Role of Mitochondrial Manganese Superoxide Dismutase in Human Disorders, such as, Diabetes
Journal Title: Journal of Endocrinology and Diabetes - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
A review of the antioxidant gene manganese Superoxide Dismutase (SOD-2) and its association with disease processes, especially Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and diabetic complications. The endogenous antioxidant enzyme systems, such as observed with Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), helps to manage the levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in a cell that are generated by the cell's respiratory reactions. The role of free radical reactions in protein oxidation, DNA damage and lipid peroxidation is strongly debated in relation to human disease and has been implicated in many disease states.

Long Term Medical Treatment of Congenital Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia
Background: Hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of recurrent hypoglycemia in early infancy. Surgical treatment with partial/near total pancreatectomy has been the mainstay of treatment but does not result in complet...
Increased Neuronal Depolarization Evoked by Autoantibodies in Diabetic Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Role for Inflammatory Protease(s) in Generation of Neurotoxic Immunoglobulin Fragment
Aim Obstructive sleep apnea increases in diabetes and morbid obesity. We tested a hypothesis that circulating autoantibodies in adult type 2 diabetes which increase in association with morbid obesity are capable of causi...
