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":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575901020398,"sku":"9781466594869","price":302.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781466594869.jpg?v=1720960907","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/human-longevity-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
