Abstract excerpt
The free radical theory of aging suggests that oxidative stress from free radicals contributes to aging. While free radicals cause DNA damage and cellular dysfunction, they also regulate essential signaling pathways. This duality complicates direct testing of the theory in mice, as demonstrated by the minor lifespan impact of Sod1 knockout. We hypothesize that base excision repair mechanisms, that involve SIRT2,...
