Sialic acid and sialyltransferase activity were determined in lymphocytes obtained from the blood of 78 healthy male volunteers aged 20-80 years. When grouping was made in double decades, statistical evaluation using the Duncan procedure indicates that sialic acid did not show significant differences between groups, whereas the sialyltransferase activity was significantly higher in the group aged 41-60 years as compared to the group aged 20-40 years and the group aged 61-80 years, both at the 0.05 level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D012794 Sialic Acids A group of naturally occurring N-and O-acyl derivatives of the deoxyamino sugar neuraminic acid. They are ubiquitously distributed in many tissues. N-Acetylneuraminic Acids,Acids, N-Acetylneuraminic,Acids, Sialic,N Acetylneuraminic Acids
D012799 Sialyltransferases A group of enzymes with the general activity CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:acceptor N-acetylneuraminyl transferase. They catalyze the transfer of N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID from CMP-N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID to an acceptor, which is usually the terminal sugar residue of an oligosaccharide, a glycoprotein, or a glycolipid.
