Blood Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase and Glutathione Peroxidase Activities in Familial and Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Recent studies have implicated free radicals in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal, paralytic disorder of motor neurons. Herein we report on measurements of erythrocyte activity of the three main free radical scavenging enzymes: copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. We studied 31 patients with sporadic ALS, 18 with familial ALS, and 24 controls, Mean Cu/Zn-SOD activity was reduced in eight familial ALS patients with mutations of Cu/Zn-SOD but was normal in patients with both familial ALS without identified Cu/Zn-SOD mutations and sporadic ALS. Glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly reduced only in sporadic ALS patients treated with insulin-like growth factor I (100 μg/kg). Catalase activity was normal in sporadic and familial ALS. Neither glutathione peroxidase nor catalase activities correlated significantly with duration of symptoms or age at onset. Vitamin E, vitamin C, and β-carotene did not affect any of the three enzyme activities. These observations indicate that disturbances of catalase and glutathione peroxidase function are not likely to be central factors in the pathogenesis of ALS.
