GliSODin® ProtectsAgainst Oxidative Stress

GliSODin® ProtectsAgainst Oxidative Stress

MORRISTOWN, N.J.Supplementationwith superoxide dismutase (SOD) (as GliSODin® from P.L. Thomas & Co. Inc.)promotes cellular antioxidant status and protects against oxidativestress-induced cell death, according to a study published in the March issue of PhytotherapyResearch (www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/12567).

The increase in blood antioxidant activities followingsupplementation with GliSODin correlated with an increased resistance of redblood cells to oxidative stress-induced cell death. GliSODin was also shown toincrease antioxidant levels in the liver and demonstrated an enhanced resistanceto oxidative stress-induced cell death.

The researchers concluded supplementation with GliSODin innormal mice for 28 days was found to promote the circulating antioxidant enzymesSOD, catalase and Gpx, and this was specific to GliSODin; non-protected SOD extract or gliadin alone were unable topromote these antioxidants.

This is the third and most important study conducted on themechanism of action of GliSODin, said Paul Flowerman, president of P.L.Thomas. This study validates the concept of GliSODin as an antioxidantcatalyst, showing significant promotion of internal antioxidant production,including SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase.
