Abstract:
The activities of lipogenic enzymes of the lung of female rats of the Wistar strain were measured in the age groups 3, 18, 21, 25, and 30 months. The activities of malic enzyme (EC. 1.1.1.40) and citrate cleavage enzyme (EC. 4.1.3.8) decrease in dependence on aging. In contrast, the enzymes of pentose phosphate shuttle glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC. 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC. 1.1.1.44) do not show an age dependence.
