Manganese enhances the expression of the manganese superoxide dismutase in cultured primary chick embryonic myocardial cells

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 16(9), 2038–2046.

By: S. Qin *, X. Liao*, L. Lu *, L. Zhang *, L. Xi , Y. Guo *, X. Luo *

author keywords: manganese; MnSOD; expressions; cultured primary myocardial cells; chick embryos
TL;DR: The results showed that MnS OD activity and mRNA expression level were induced by Mn and increased with incubation time, which supported the hypothesis that Mn would enhance the expression of the MnSOD gene, and thus might protect myocardial cells from oxidative stress during the chick embryonic development.
