Cutaneous lipid peroxide levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in non-aged and aged guinea pigs were measured between 15 min and 7 days after experimental infliction of burns. Skin burns on non-aged and aged patients were also subjected to these assays. In non-aged guinea pig skin burns, lipid peroxide levels increased from 24 hr to the fourth day after the burn infliction, while SOD activity did not increase but showed a slight decrease 12 hr and 24 hr post-burn. On the other hand, while the aged group showed a more increase in skin lipid peroxide levels compared to that seen in non-aged mice, skin SOD activity began to decrease from 30 min post-burn, the maximum decrease being reached on the second day. The activity did not return to normal by the 7th day. In non-aged patients skin burns showed increases in both lipid peroxide levels and SOD activity, while in aged patients, though they showed a marked increase in lipid peroxide levels, SOD activity remained unchanged. The present study indicated that, although in our recent study, skin SOD activity of healthy elderly people was found to be comparable to that in non-aged individuals, the capacity for induction of SOD activity under oxygen stress differed with age in both guinea pig and human burn sufferers. Furthermore, this induction capacity seemed to vary from species to species.
