Popis: The aim of this study was to examine three types of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in plasma after burns, and especially to clarify the characteristics of plasma extracellular SOD (EC-SOD) in burned patients. A total of 71 blood samples were collected from 18 patients on arrival, day 1, day 3 and day 5 after burns. We measured three types of SOD (Mn, Cu/Zn, EC) in plasma using ELISA, and the relationships among the three types of SOD concentrations were examined. We next analyzed the characteristics of plasma EC-SOD using stepwise multivariate regression analysis. Any plasma SOD isoenzyme concentration measured after burns was beyond the normal range and EC-SOD accounted for the major part of plasma SODs. EC-SOD and Cu/Zn-SOD were positively correlated, whereas Mn-SOD was not related to the other SODs. Also, plasma EC-SOD was significantly related to existence of inhalation injury, %TBSA and age, respectively. The plasma EC-SOD might therefore play some roles in the pathophysiology of burned patients.
