Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) appear to protect cells against reactive free radicals by scavenging the superoxide radicals produced by ionization radiation or through other mechanisms. SOD have been proposed as clinically useful for a wide variety of applications including prevention of oncogenesis, tumor promotion, tumor invasiveness, radiation damage, reduction of the cytotoxic and cardiotoxic effects of anticancer drugs, as a measure against the aging process and as anti-inflammatory agents.', 'Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) or CuZn-SOD (SOD1) mutations results in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis It acts as a mediator of the HMF (hypomagnetic field) effect.
