Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of age on oxygen consumption, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, inorganic peroxides and chloroform-soluble antioxidants in the adult male housefly, Musca domestica.
TL;DR: The results are interpreted to suggest that the enzymatic and non-enzymatic defenses against oxygen free radicals and hydroperoxides tend to deteriorate with age in the adult housefly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of paraquat administration on longevity, oxygen consumption, lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, inorganic peroxides and glutathione in the adult housefly.
TL;DR: Results indicate that paraquat toxicity does not result from lipid peroxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of diethyldithiocarbamate on life span, metabolic rate, superoxide dismutase, catalase, inorganic peroxides and glutathione in the adult male housefly, Musca domestica.
TL;DR: The results are interpreted to indicate that a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity in the housefly, by diethyldithiocarbamate administration, is compensated by an elevation in reduced glutathione levels and reduction of oxygen consumption, suggesting the existence of alternative free radical defenses in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of exogenous antioxidants on the levels of endogenous antioxidants, lipid-soluble fluorescent material and life span in the housefly, Musca domestica.
TL;DR: Results suggest that administration of exogenous antioxidants causes a compensatory depression of endogenous defenses in adult male houseflies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of physical activity on superoxide dismutase, catalase, inorganic peroxides and glutathione in the adult male housefly, Musca domestica
TL;DR: The results of this study are interpreted to support the concept that by-products of oxygen metabolism may play a causal role in the aging process.
