Abstract
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) is present in relatively high concentrations in the β-cells of human islets. The activity of the extracted enzyme is partially inhibited upon incubation with the diabetogenic drugs alloxan, streptozotocin, or Vacor. The role of this enzyme in protecting β-cells against chemically induced diabetes was further investigated.
