Abstract: The activity of sheep blood superoxide dismutase (SOD) purified by DEAE Sephadex A-50 column chromatography was determined by pyrogallo autoxidation method after 4, 24, 48, 72 h and 96 h of 25 ℃ incubation in the respective presence of  maltose, sucrose, lactose, fucose, glucose, D-fructose, D-trehalose, D-xylose and D-mannose under varying concentration conditions, and the corresponding relative enzyme activities were calculated. Trehalose had a remarkable activating and protecting effect on sheep SOD. High concentrations of maltose and low concentrations of lactose were conducive to stabilizing the enzyme, and other sugars tested had unobvious effect on the enzyme. Therefore, different kinds and amounts of sugar have different effects on sheep SOD.

Key words: superoxide dismutase, carbohydrate, enzyme activity
