摘要
Oxidative modification of lipids, proteins and DNA by reactive oxygen species in the organism and imbalance between the concentrations of free radicals and the antioxidant defenses may be related to processes such as aging and diseases (cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, cancer, etc.). Although the relationship between oxidant status and antioxidant defence in aging of different species, organs or sexes has been investigated extensively, the studies have produced conflicting results. In order to determine the extent of age-associated alteration, oxidant production and antioxidant status were measured in tissues of CBA and AKR mice of both sexes. At the same time we will focus on lipid peroxidation (LPO) process and superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) of AKR mice related to ontogeny of thymic lymphoma in mice of different age and sex. Male and female CBA and AKR mice aged 3, 6, 12 or 18 months were used. Lipid-bound sialic acid (LSA) content was determined as a malignancy marker. LPO processes of CBA and AKR mice were monitored according to the presence of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in liver and thymus, and antioxidant status as SOD activity in whole blood. TBARS concentration increased significantly with age in the liver of CBA and AKR mice of both sexes, but only in male thymuses of both strains. TBARS concentration in female thymuses of both strains was unchanged during aging. Thus, age-associated LPO processes of tumor-free mice of both strains were tissue-dependent. In the liver of tumor-bearing CBA and AKR mice as well as in thymuses of AKR mice, TBARS concentration significantly decreased and was neither sex nor tissue related. SOD activity was strain-dependent but independent of sex. However, SOD activity in mice with developed thymomas was drastically reduced in comparison to tumor-free mice. Our data indicate that age associated LPO processes in both strains are only tissue-dependent and SOD activity mainly strain-dependent in tumor-free mice. In tumor-bearing mice LPO processes and SOD activity were not tissue, sex or strain dependent. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
