Mitochondrial decay in ageing: ‘Qi‐invigorating’ schisandrin B as a hormetic agent for mitigating age‐related diseases
6 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
1. The mitochondrial free radical theory of ageing (MFRTA) proposes a primary role for mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ageing process. The reductive hot spot hypothesis of mammalian ageing serves as a supplement to the MFRTA by explaining how the relatively few cells that have lost oxidative phosphorylation capacity due to mitochondrial DNA mutations can be toxic to the rest of the body and...
