NGF restores decrease in catalase activity and increases superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity in the brain of aged rats
G Nisticò, MR Ciriolo, K Fiskin, M Iannone… - Free radical biology and …, 1992 - Elsevier
The effects of ageing on the activity of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD), selenium-
dependent and independent glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase in several
areas of the brain in 3-, 12-, and 24-month-old rats were studied. In addition, the effects of a
subacute intracerebroventricular treatment of NGF 91 μg daily for 28 consecutive days) on
SOD, GSH-Px, and catalase activity in the same areas of the brain were assessed. The
effects of ageing on the activities of antioxidant enzymes varied considerably in the different …
