Abstract
An increase in the level of lipids in the liver and serum, a drop in hepatic ATP, blood sugar and hepatic glycogen and also a decline in various enzymatic activities related to lipid metabolism were observed with aging. The metabolism of lipids and sugar was improved by the administration of cytochrome c. This is due to its synthetic effects, including an acceleration of lipid catabolism, as well as the increase in ATP brought about by the improvement of the function of the mitochondria.
