Abstract
The 24 h profile of the activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the pineal gland of rats was studied. Rhythmic analysis showed a significant 24 h rhythm with an amplitude of oscillation of 25% of the 24 h mean value, that was 100.34 +/- 1.6 U SOD (nitrite). An ultradian rhythm of 9 h was also detected. The diurnal profile of superoxide dismutase activity is discussed in relation to the oxidative metabolism of the pineal gland.Entities:
