A substantial body of evidence indicates that high intracellular concentrations of inorganic manganous ions render some cells resistant to ionizing radiation and provide substantial antioxidant protection to aerobic cells lacking superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes. We found that manganous phosphate is unique among those manganous salts studied in its ability to remove superoxide rapidly and catalytically from aqueous solution via a disproportionation mechanism that is entirely different from those of the SOD enzymes.

D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.

D013481 Superoxides Highly reactive compounds produced when oxygen is reduced by a single electron. In biological systems, they may be generated during the normal catalytic function of a number of enzymes and during the oxidation of hemoglobin to METHEMOGLOBIN. In living organisms, SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE protects the cell from the deleterious effects of superoxides. Superoxide Radical,Superoxide,Superoxide Anion
D013482 Superoxide Dismutase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reaction between SUPEROXIDES and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide.
