Abstract:
:In the lung of Rana perezi no differences as a function of age have been found for any of the five major antioxidant enzymes, reduced (GSH), oxidized (GSSG) or glutathione ratio (GSSG/GSH), oxygen consumption (VO2) and for in vivo or in vitro stimulated tissue peroxidation. This frog shows a moderate rate of oxygen consumption and a life span substantially longer than that of rats and mice. Chronic (2.5 months) catalase depletion in the lung did not affect survival or any additional antioxidant enzyme, GSH, GSSG or in vivo and in vitro lung peroxidation in any age group. Only the GSSG/GSH ratio and the VO2 were elevated in catalase depleted old but not young frogs. After comparison of these results with those obtained in other animal species by other authors we suggest the possibility that decreases in antioxidant capacity in old age be restricted to species with high basal metabolic rates. Nevertheless, scavenging of oxygen radicals can not be 100% effective in any species. Thus, aging can still be due to the continuous presence of small concentrations of O2 radicals in the tissues throughout the life span in animals with either high or low metabolic rates.
