title: [Enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase in lymphocytes and erythrocytes in people of different ages].
abstract: The studies were aimed at testing whether or not there is a dependence between the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in lymphocytes and erythrocytes of peripheral blood, and the age between 20 and 60 years. Examined were 235 healthy men working in leather plants. Between the ages 41 and 50 years SOD enzymatic activity of lymphocytes was found to show a statistically significant decrease. SOD enzymatic activity of erythrocytes does not undergo significant changes during the occupationally active period of life for men (20-60 years). The predominant values of SOD enzymatic activity of lymphocytes were found within 0-1.0 U/10(6) lymphocytes and within 50-200 U/ml blood in case of SOD activity in erythrocytes.
