Lipids, which enter the composition of actively transcribed and repressed chromatin fractions are found to undergo a peroxidation. This process decreased with aging and more pronounced in actively transcribed chromatin fraction. A decreased activity of DNA polymerase beta and increased activity of RNA polymerase I in this chromatin fraction with aging were observed. It is assumed that observed changes of genome function of old animals may be caused by decreased peroxidation of chromatin lipids.
