Abstract excerpt
We previously proposed a rate theory of chemical reaction as well as a lifespan equation derived by a stochastic fluctuation theory. Both were applied to biodemographic data by C. elegans to quantitatively explain that respiratory activity declines exponentially with age and that it has a physiological decline rate and a finite value (threshold) in advanced age. In this work, using the poikilothermic nature of...
