Aging changes of riboflavin concentration and glutathione reductase activity in erythrocytes.
Aged erythrocytes obtained by fractionation using gradient centrifugation with Dextran 40, showed lower glutathione reductase activity and riboflavin content than young cells. However, both young and old cells displayed almost the same increase in enzyme activity upon addition of flavin adenine dinucleotide to the test hemolysate in vitro. The lipid peroxide content in the cell membranes showed no consistent changes with aging.
