Quantitative Western blot analysis has revealed increased expression of SOD1 (p = 0.0042) and SOD2 (p = 0.0219) in the cortex while in the hippocampus, thalamus, and caudate nucleus of MD group no changes were observed compared to control group (p = 0.8948, p = 0.8548, and p = 0.41 for SOD1; and p = 0.8548, p = 0.7796, and p = 0.7481 for SOD2, resp). The gene discussed is SOD2; the disease is Menkes disease.
