Abstract
The activities of superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn) and catalase were observed to decrease significantly between 6 and 29 months of age in rat liver. The decrease in superoxide dismutase and catalase activity was paralleled by a decrease in the levels of the mRNA species coding for these enzymes and the nuclear transcription of the superoxide dismutase and catalase genes. Life-long dietary restriction was shown to increase the expression (i.e. activities, mRNA levels, and nuclear transcription) of superoxide dismutase and catalase in liver tissue from 18-month-old rats.Entities:
