Abstract
Superoxide dismutase exerted a pronounced inhibitory effect upon xanthine oxidase-mediated reduction of iron in ferritin, ferric chloride, or ferric ADP. Maximal inhibition was observed when the superoxide dismutase concentration was only about 1% of that found in normal porcine liver. These observations indicate that superoxide anion radical is an intermediate in the reduction of iron by xanthine oxidase in vitro but not in vivo.
