The Age-Related Accumulation of Protein Carbonyl in Rat Liver Correlates With the Age-Related Decline in Liver Proteolytic Activities

Abstract excerpt

Increases of protein carbonyl in animal tissues have been associated with the aging process. So far, the accumulation of oxidized proteins, highly susceptible to proteolysis, has been attributed to age-related changes in proteasomal alkaline proteases. Carbonyl in protein was monitored in six different tissues of male Sprague-Dawley rats fed ad libitum up to the age of 27 months, and of 24 and 27-month-old rats...
