Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 1992 Apr; 30(4): 355-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/61628The present study deals with the effect of butylated hydroxy anisole, propyl gallate and alpha-tocopherol on ATPase activity of brain and heart in ageing male mice. The activity of both the tissues significantly increased during pre-reproductive and reproductive phases. However, during the post-reproductive phase, ATPase activity of heart increased while that of the brain remained unaltered. The enhanced activity could be attributed to interference by the antioxidants in cellular metabolism and/or their free radical scavenging effect.engAdenosine Triphosphatases --metabolismAge FactorsAnimalsAntioxidants --pharmacologyBrain --drug effectsHeart --drug effectsMaleMiceMyocardium --enzymologyJournal Article
