Description
Free Radicals in Aging presents new findings regarding the involvement of free radicals in the aging process. It covers the basic elements of free radical biochemistry, free radicals in cellular damage, anti-oxidant defenses, implications of free radicals in a variety of age-related diseases, and future directions of free radicals in gerontology. The effects of exercise on free radicals and the aging process are discussed as well. Free Radicals in Aging is an excellent reference for gerontologists, pathologists, and other researchers interested in this increasingly important topic.
