| | Le Magazine, August 2005 - Report: Super Oxide Dismutase (Sod) |
 | | SOD, for example, may be up to 3,500 times more potent than vitamin C in quenching the dangerous superoxide radical. |
 | | SOD levels in humans vary by as much as 50% owing to genetic differences, which may help to explain why some people are more prone to degenerative diseases while others lead long, disease-free lives. |
 | | SOD activity in the blood lowers levels of the superoxide radical, which in turn diminishes levels of the inflammatory agent, hydrogen peroxide. |
