Abstract excerpt
The effects of superoxide dismutase on aging were tested using two different experimental approaches. In the first, replicated populations with postponed aging were compared with their controls for frequencies of electrophoretic alleles at the SOD locus. Populations with postponed aging had consistently greater frequencies of the allele coding for more active SOD protein. This allele was not part of a segregating...
