The presence
of synthetic ovine corticotropin - releasing factor leads to a rapid and marked stimulation
of adenosine 3», 5» - monophosphate
accumulation in an enriched population
of rat pituitary corticotrophs in primary culture.
This study investigated the influence
of chronically administered curcumin on normal ageing - related parameters: lipid peroxidation, lipofuscin concentration and intraneuronal lipofuscin
accumulation, activities
of the enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and Na (+), K (+), -
adenosine triphosphatase (Na (+), K (+), - ATPase) in different brain regions (cerebral cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum and medulla)
of 6 - and 24 - month - old rats.
