Highlights Exercise can increase the production of reactive oxygen species, or ROS. When ROS levels rise too much, they may contribute to cellular damage. The body depends on built-in antioxidant...
Highlights: The body constantly produces reactive species as part of normal life and metabolism, but excess levels can damage cells. Proteostasis is the system that helps keep proteins healthy, functional,...
Highlights Aging is associated with progressive accumulation of oxidative damage. Oxidative lesions in DNA, proteins, and lipids increase with age. Overexpression of antioxidant enzymes can extend lifespan in animal models....
Highlights Oxidative stress is proposed as a central mechanism of biological aging. Protein oxidation leads to loss of essential cellular functions. Evidence is drawn from animal models, genetic studies, and...
Highlights Life depends on constant protein renewal — proteins wear out faster than cells do. Ageing may accelerate when the body can’t keep up with repairing and clearing damaged proteins....
