Superoxide Dismutase Activity in Male and Female Patients of Different Age with Moderate COVID-19

Abstract: The study involved 271 patients (132 men and 139 women) with moderate COVID-19. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in erythrocytes was measured spectrophotometrically. In total group of patients (divided into age groups of 18-35, 36-45, 46-60, and 61-90 years), higher SOD activity was found in the 18-35 age group in comparison with the groups 46-60 years ( p <0.01) and 61-90 years ( p <0.05). Then, the groups were additionally divided by sex. In men, no difference… Show more

“…In our study, SOD was decreased in the elderly subjects, but some observational studies suggested that high SOD levels are associated with decreased mortality (Kalmar and Greensmith, 2009). Results of some scientists concluded that women had greater SOD activity than men, which is perhaps one of the striking findings Semenova et al, 2022). However, the mechanism of differences in levels of SOD between males and females remains unclear, but possible reasons include differences in metabolic rates, leading to different levels of oxidative damage.…”

“…In addition, demographic parameters such as age, sex and osteoporosis can also affect the level of SOD and GR. For example, the levels of these two enzymes gradually decline with age and are higher in women than in men [ 43 , 44 ]. In addition, in the oxidative stress environment of osteoporosis, the antioxidant system and oxidation system are dysfunctional, and the level of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD is decreased [ 45 ].…”

“…Tissue integrity of antioxidants affects the development of diabetic complications as was reported by Dachana et al (2010). The enzymatic antioxidant, SOD, is one of the primary enzymes that directly eliminates reactive oxygen species (ROS), (Semenova et al, 2022). It is an important defense enzyme and a scavenger of O 2 from H 2 O 2 , the intervention diminishes the toxic effects due to free radical injury from secondary reaction (Abdel-Monsef et al, 2023).…”
