Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) catalyses the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, consequently providing protection against superoxide which is one of the most common free radicals in the body.
SOD levels have been found to decrease with age, while free radicals in the body increase with age which suggests this enzyme plays a major role in the ageing process. There is great interest in determining the potential of superoxide dismutase in anti-ageing treatments and cosmetics.
The Randox Ransod assay is of the highest quality and offers excellent performance.
