Relationship of superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and aging were tested using bean weevil lines selected for postponed senescence. The beetles of different age (young and old) and mating status (virgin and mated) from the extended longevity lines were compared with their counterparts derived from the short-lived lines for activities of SOD and catalase. The old beetles from the long-lived lines had statistically significant higher activity of SOD than their controls. Although we did not find a significant effect of catalase on longevity, beetles originating from both types of lines exhibited an increased catalase activity during mating processes. In addition, we did observe an increased activity of catalase in one-day-old beetles of the short-lived lines relative to the same-aged individuals of the long-lived lines.
