Age-related changes in rat retina.
PURPOSE To describe the changes in rat retina occurring with ageing by means of histological methods, scanning electron microscopic observations and morphometrical data; and to study by means of biochemical methods the amount of protein content in retinal tissues. METHODS Samples of fresh retinal tissue obtained from young, adult, and aged rats were studied by means of traditional histologica...
متن کاملAge-related DNA methylation changes in normal human prostate tissues.
PURPOSE Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among the aging male population but the mechanism underlying this association is unclear. Aberrant methylation of promoter CpG islands is associated with silencing of genes and age-dependent methylation of several genes has been proposed as a risk factor for sporadic cancer. We examined the extent of gene methylation in pathologically n...
متن کاملMelatonin or a melatonin agonist corrects age-related changes in circadian response to environmental stimulus.
The effects of a melatonin agonist, S-20098, included in the diet were tested on a specific effect of aging in hamsters: the marked decline in the phase shifting effects of a 6-h pulse of darkness on a background of constant light. In contrast to young hamsters, old hamsters fed with the control diet showed little or no phase shifts in response to a dark pulse presented in the middle of their i...

متن کاملAge-related changes in sleep in the rat.
Human sleep in old age is characterized by a number of changes, including reductions in sleep efficiency, amounts of visually scored slow-wave and REM sleep, and amplitude of the diurnal sleep/wake rhythm. In older rats, some, but not all, of these traits have been reported, including a decrease in the mean duration of sleep bouts, an increase in the number of sleep bouts, and a modest reductio...
