Biochemical changes in the central nervous system with age in the rat.
Studies dealing with biochemistry of the central nervous system of rats have been reviewed. Data on the effects of age on enzyme activity and cellular substrates have been summarized in tabular form. In general, it can be concluded that biochemical functions dealing with anabolism decrease whereas those dealing with catabolism increase as aging progresses.
