Much attention has been focused on the hypothesis that oxidative damage contributes to cellular and organismal aging. A mev-1 mutation in the cytochrome b large subunit (SDHC) of complex II results in superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) overproduction and therefore leads to apoptosis and precocious aging in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. To extend these data, a transgenic mouse cell line was constructed with a...
