The extracellular isoform of superoxide dismutase has a significant impact on cardiovascular ischaemia and reperfusion injury during cardiopulmonary bypass [EXPERIMENTAL]

CONCLUSIONS Collectively, SOD3 has a significant cardioprotective role in cases of IRI and directly affects the myocardium as hypothesized. Exploration of intervention strategies targeting SOD3 may provide therapeutic options against IRI and associated systemic inflammation.
