Clow, Angela, Hussain, T., Glover, Vivette, Sandler, M., Dexter, D. and Walker, M. (1991) (?)-Deprenyl can induce soluble superoxide dismutase in rat striata. Journal of Neural Transmission, 86 (1). pp. 77-80. ISSN 0300-9564Full text not available from this repository.
(–)-Deprenyl (0.25 or 2mg/kg) or saline was injected daily into male Wistar rats for 3 weeks. The striata were dissected out and soluble and particulate Superoxide dismutase activity measured. (–)-Deprenyl at 2mg/kg induced a significant increase in the soluble but not the particulate form of the enzyme. The possibility that this action contributes to the ability of (–)-deprenyl to retard nigral degeneration in man and prolong life in rats is discussed.
