Abstract

Pulmonary superoxide dismutase (SOD) acitivity was determined for various groups of human fetuses, infants, and adults. Enzyme activity was found to increase with age from a low of 17 +/- 1 units/mg DNA in fetal lung to 49 +/- 6 units/mg DNA in infant lung and finally to 110.2 +/- 14.8 units/mg DNA in adult lung (P less than 0.05).
