This book is aimed at persons interested in a molecular explanation of how our cells age. \u003cb\u003eHuman Longevity: Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Bioenergetics, Molecular Biology, and Evolution \u003c\/b\u003eis built on the proposition that we age as our mitochondria age. It suggests a revised version of Harman's famous hypothesis featuring mitochondrial oxidative and energy stresses as the root causes of aging. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuman cells are protected from the ravages of aging by a battery of defensive systems including some novel mechanisms against membrane oxidation introduced in this book. This concept is consistent with recent discoveries showing that mitochondria-targeted antioxidants prevent Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain disease in animal models of neurodegeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores a unified theory of aging based on bioenergetics. It covers a variety of topics including an introduction to the science of human aging, the Darwinian selection of membranes enabling longevity, a revised mitochondrial membrane hypothesis of aging, and various mechanisms that protect human mitochondrial membranes, thereby enabling longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931702775959,"sku":"9781466594869","price":16965.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781466594869.webp?v=1771615530","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/human-longevity-omega-3-fatty-acids-bioenergetics-molecular-biology-and-evolution-9781466594869","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
