Abstract
Membrane lipids of brain synaptosomes of 2, 12 and 24 months old rats were labeled by stearic acid spin probes with a doxyl group in the C-5 and C-16 position, respectively. We demonstrated that the hydrophobic region of synaptosomal membranes became more rigid during the life span studied, and the region located nearer the surface of membranes displays a significantly decreased fluidity only in the oldest group. Membrane proteins labeled with a nitroxide derivative of maleimide suggest that conformational changes take place during aging.Entities:
