Abstract:
:Age-related changes in the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were determined in brain, heart, hepatocytes, intestinal mucosa, and kidney from male Fischer F344 rats. Superoxide dismutase activity decreased significantly with age in all five tissues studied. The activity of catalase decreased with age in brain, hepatocytes, and kidney while glutathione peroxidase activity decreased significantly with age only in intestinal mucosa and kidney. The relative levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase mRNA were measured in brain, hepatocytes, and kidney. An age-related decrease in SOD and catalase mRNA was observed for brain, hepatocytes, and kidney. GPX mRNA levels decreased with age in hepatocytes and kidney but did not change with age in brain. In general, the age-related changes in the activities of SOD, catalase, and GPX were paralleled by a similar change in the relative level of the mRNAs coding for these enzymes.
