  • To investigate the potential involvement of SOD in the pathogenesis of parasitic infections.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on SOD molecular forms.
  • Analysis of existing research on SOD and parasitic diseases.

Main Results:

  • Detailed overview of superoxide dismutase isoforms.
  • Exploration of SOD's dual role in host defense and parasite survival.
  • Identification of potential mechanisms linking SOD to parasitic pathogenesis.

Conclusions:

  • Superoxide dismutase molecular forms may play a complex role in parasitic infections.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms and therapeutic potential.
