The influence of age and gender on antioxidant enzyme activities in humans and laboratory animals.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Changes in sensory- motor systems that occur with age result in a decrease in postural equilibrium, which has been linked with an increased risk of falling in the elderly. Stepping down backwards from a step perturbs dynamic postural equilibrium, thus offering an opportunity to analyze the biomechan...
