Growth Hormone (rat) EIA Kit

Synonyms : GH (rat) ELISA Kit
Stability : 6 months
Description :
Age-associated changes in hypothalamic catalase activity and level, and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) activity were examined in Ames dwarf mice with growth hormone (GH) deficiency and prolonged lifespan, in PEPCK-hGH transgenic mice with overexpression of GH and reduced lifespan, and compared to values measured in normal controls. Hypothalami from young (3–4 months), middle-aged (9–10 months), and old (19–23 months) male mice were examined using spectrophotometric assay and Western blot. In dwarf mice, Cu/Zn SOD and catalase activities declined with age, and were higher than the corresponding normal values in young and middle-aged groups. Catalase levels also declined with age, but were similar to values in normal controls. In GH transgenic mice, age-associated decline of both catalase and Cu/Zn SOD occurred earlier than in normal animals.
