	anti age, free radicals, superoxide dismutase, antioxidants : frequently asked questions
		The superoxide dismutase is a natural enzyme of the organism, able to neutralise superoxide anion very quickly.
		Thus, superoxide anion is naturally knocked down slowly and partially, what gives it time to react with other molecules, causing considerable damage.
		The SOD, superoxide dismutase, is a major antioxidant enzyme, the anti-rust enzyme of the organism’s cells.

		Superoxide dismutase has been found in almost all organisms living in the presence of oxygen, including some anaerobic bacteria, supporting the notion that superoxide is a key and general component of oxidative stress.
		Extra cellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen in the interstitial spaces of tissues and in extracellular fluids (plasma, lymph, and synovial fluid).
		In the mid 1990s, the linkage between mutations in the gene coding for the antioxidant enzyme Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and the neurodegenerative disease known as familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was established.
