Abstract excerpt
Recent reports on aging have revealed that many genetic loci affecting life span are closely linked to the machinery either producing or defending oxidative stress. Protective mechanisms against oxidative stress are thus important in countering the aging process. Thioredoxin (TRX) is a small thiol-mediated protein with a redox-active disulfide/dithiol within the conserved active site. TRX transgenic mice are more...
