Despite improvements in awareness and treatment of type II diabetes mellitus (TIIDM), this disease remains a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and prevalence continues to rise. Oxidative damage caused by free radicals has long been known to contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of TIIDM and its complications. Only recently, however, has the role of the Nrf2/Keap1/ARE master antioxidant pathway in diabetic dysfunction begun to be elucidated. There is accumulating evidence that this pathway is implicated in diabetic damage to the pancreas, heart, and skin, among other cell types and tissues. Animal studies and clinical trials have shown promising results suggesting that activation of this pathway can delay or reverse some of these impairments in TIIDM. In this review, we outline the role of oxidative damage and the Nrf2/Keap1/ARE pathway in TIIDM, focusing on current and future efforts to utilize this relationship as a therapeutic target for prevention, prognosis, and treatment of TIID.

Now a days it is a known fact that the oxidative stress is in the foreground of type-II diabetes mellitus. It is the main cause of macro and microvascular complications in type II diabetes mellitus. Oxidative stress can be served as a good marker of degree of diabetes in addition is HbA1C. Superoxide (O2.- ) is one of the free radical produced during oxidative stress.  Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme which quenches superoxide radicals produced due to oxidative stress. Hence it is very obvious that the estimation of SOD should be very sensitive and specific. To attain this aim we compared three different methods. Key words: SOD, Diabetes, Oxidative stress, Superoxide Dismutase.
