The mitochondrial free radical theory of aging: a critical view.

Current aging science - 1 Mar 2008

Sanz Alberto, Stefanatos Rhoda K A

Abstract excerpt

The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (MFRTA) proposes that mitochondrial free radicals, produced as by-products during normal metabolism, cause oxidative damage. According to MFRTA, the accumulation of this oxidative damage is the main driving force in the aging process. Although widely...
