Abstract

Our investigations concerning the biochemistry of senescence have demonstrated the occurrence in relation to age of numerous biochemical changes, among which disorders in thioamino-acid metabolism and enzyme activity (Oeriu, 1960; 1961; 1962a, b; 1963a; Oeriu and Tigheciu 1961; 1962; 1964) play an important part. Since the administration of cystein appears to shift the biochemical balance in old animals towards a state characteristics of younger ones, (Oeriu, 1963b; 1963c) we have also looked for differences in S 35-thioamino-acid turnover between groups of old animals used as controls and others previously treated with folcysteine.
