In the present study, we investigated and compared the hepatic lipid metabolisms of liver-specific Sod2 (superoxide dismutase 2) knock-out (Sod2 KO), Sod1 knock-out (Sod1 KO), and Sod1/liver-specific Sod2 double knock-out mice (double KO)," scientists writing in the Journal of Biological Chemistry report.
