title: The effects of superoxide dismutase on H2O2 formation.
abstract: Numerous reports of the effects of overproduction of SODs have been explained on the basis of increased H2O2 production by the catalyzed dismutation of O2-. In this review we consider the effects of increasing [SOD] on H2O2 formation and question this explanation.
