摘要

Oxidative stress is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cigarette smoke contains high levels of oxidants, which also adds to the oxidative stress in COPD. Endogenous antioxidants are present to scavenge these harmful oxidants and help maintain lung homeostasis. An imbalance in oxidant-antioxidant levels in the lung is detrimental. Indeed, healthy smokers and COPD patients were found to have an impaired oxidant-antioxidant balance as determined by increased plasma levels of malonyldoaldehyde and decreased levels erythrocyte superoxide dismutase enzyme activity.Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD or SOD 3) is one member of the superoxide dismutase family of antioxidant enzymes. EC-SOD is mainly located in the extracellular matrix and is highly expressed in arteries and the lung (2). Numerous studies have shown that pulmonary EC-SOD inhibits lung injury in response to variety of pulmonary insults (3-9).
