Abstract
1. Erythrocyte antioxidant systems--superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR)--were discussed in relation to life-spans in some mammalian species. 2. The erythrocyte life-span of different mammals was found to be correlated with the levels of SOD, GSH-Px and GSH. 3. Data reviewed indicates that the erythrocyte life-span of each species is governed by both the oxygen radical formation and the efficiency of intrinsic antioxidant systems.Entities:
