Oxidative stress has been implicated in ageing and the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. We examined levels of antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, catalase and superoxide dismutase as modulated by age and oxidative stress in different regions of the kidney. Antioxidant enzymes were examined in different regions of the kidney in male Wistar rats. Kidneys from rats of different ages (5, 12, 36 and 60 weeks) were dissected into cortex, outer medulla and inner medulla. Tissues were incubated for 30 min with or without 0.2 mM HO to induce oxidative stress. Antioxidant enzyme activities progressively decreased with age under both control and stress conditions ( P < 0.05) after peaking at 12 weeks. Antioxidant enzyme activities were greater in the cortex ( P < 0.05) by comparison with the outer and inner medulla, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
