Glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione-S-transferase activities in the rhesus monkey lens as a function of age. 1986

W B Rathbun, and M G Bovis, and A M Holleschau

The activities of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione-S-transferase were determined in lenses from rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) as a function of age. The ages ranged from 137 day old embryos to a 34 year old. Glutathione peroxidase activity (units/g lens) occurred at a very low level in lenses of fetuses and neonates, but increased dramatically with age, peaking in the adult of about 12 to 20 years of age and declining thereafter. Glutathione reductase activity (units/g lens) decreased throughout juvenile life, leveling off when adulthood was reached (at least 6 years of age). Glutathione-S-transferase activity showed considerable age-related variation. Calculations show that glutathione reductase is rate-limiting in the glutathione redox pathway.

D005982 Glutathione Transferase A transferase that catalyzes the addition of aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic FREE RADICALS as well as EPOXIDES and arene oxides to GLUTATHIONE. Addition takes place at the SULFUR. It also catalyzes the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrite.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
