Erythrocyte Senescence in a Model of Rat Displaying Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome

Figure 4

Plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) activity in erythrocytes. The values are given as mean ± SD of eight independent experiments. The overall PMRS activity in different erythrocyte fractions of the old control and progeroid groups was increased as compared to the basal level observed for the young control group. The activity in different fractions of the naturally aged old control group was more pronounced than that of the corresponding progeroid group.
