Superoxide anion (O2 -) produced by xanthine and xanthine oxidase system can oxidize hydroxylamine to form nitrite which appear purplish red after chromogenic reaction. The SOD in the sample has a specific inhibitory effect on superoxide anion (O2 -), can reduce the content of nitrite. The OD value is lower than control and the activity of SOD is calculated through the formula. There are two kinds of SOD (CuZn-SOD, Mn-SOD) in the cells of higher animals, and the sum of them is equal to the total SOD. The activity of Mn-SOD in the sample will lost after sample pretreatment, but the activity of CuZn-SOD will not.
