Chu, R.C. | Begley, J.A. | Hall, C.A.
The effects of erythrocyte aging on the contents of certain micronutrients and related enzyme levels were investigated in cells from 11 healthy adult subjects. Young and old red cells were separated by density centrifugation. Erythrocyte zinc, copper, vitamin E, superoxide dismutase and carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme B and C levels, and hemolysis by peroxide were not altered by aging of the red cells. Cobalamin and folate levels declined progressively as erythrocytes aged.
