   Comprehensive study of aging and free radicals

   Efforts to devise methods, practices and drugs to prevent aging and be free from the jaws of imminent death have always been futile.Alchemists from all over the globe, for centuries worked towards the preparation of “Elixir of life” to overcome aging and death.

   Ageing

   In his book, 'How and Why We Age', Dr. Hayflick notes a contradiction to the caloric restriction longevity increase theory for humans, noting that data from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging show that being thin does not favor longevity. ... The idea that free radicals (unstable and highly reactive organic molecules, also named reactive oxygen species or oxidative stress) create damage that gives rise to symptoms we recognize as aging.

   DNA damage theory of aging

   A review of the role of DNA damage in aging, including a comprehensive summary of the studies showing DNA damage accumulation with age in brain, muscle, liver and kidney, is in press (Bernstein et al., 2008). Here, we mention only some recent studies involving rodents plus one human study.
