Upregulation of Superoxide Dismutase Activity in the Intestinal Tract Mucosa of Germ-Free Mice

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalyzes the breakdown of superoxide into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen in the antioxidant defense system. We had reported that the SOD activities in the ceca of germ-free (GF) mice were significantly higher than those in conventional (CV) mice. In this study, we confirmed...
