In synaptosomes from rat cerebral cortex, the potential catalytic activity of some enzymes related to energy metabolism-namely, phosphofructokinase and citrate synthase-is not affected by aging. In contrast, the maximum velocity (Vm& of cytochrome oxidase and of pyruvate dehydrogenase decreases in a
## Abstract Increasing evidence supports the notion that increased oxidative stress is a fundamental cause in the aging process and in neurodegenerative diseases. As a result, a decline in cognitive function is generally associated with brain aging. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive
