S. Das et Bk. Patnaik, EFFECT OF AGE AND PARTIAL WATER-DEPRIVATION ON LIPID-PEROXIDATION IN THE BRAIN OF MALE GARDEN LIZARD, Comparative biochemistry and physiology. B. Comparative biochemistry, 114(4), 1996, pp. 361-365
Lipid peroxidation estimated as thiobarbituric acid reactive substance
increased with advancing age in the brain of male garden lizard. The
degree of increase in the parameter was almost double in senescent pha
se (middle-aged to old) than in maturation phase (young to middle-aged
). Partial water deprivation led to an increase in lipid peroxidation
of the brain of young and middle-aged lizards. On the other hand, a si
milar treatment to old counterparts caused a decrease in the parameter
.
