Free radicals can oxidize LDL, and this is a key event in the formation of plaque in arteries, leading to heart disease and stroke. [23] These are examples of how the free-radical theory of aging has been used to neatly "explain" the origin of many chronic diseases. [24]
The mitochondrial theory of ageing has two varieties: free radical and non-free radical. The first is one of the variants of the free radical theory of ageing. It was formulated by J. Miquel and colleagues in 1980 [1] and was developed in the works of Linnane and coworkers (1989). [2] The second was proposed by A. N. Lobachev in 1978. [3]
Free radicals are reactive molecules produced by cellular and environmental processes, and can damage the elements of the cell such as the cell membrane and DNA and cause irreversible damage. The free-radical theory of aging proposes that this damage cumulatively degrades the biological function of cells and impacts the process of aging. [18]
Sep. 1—(Family Features) In a healthy person, the body is like a well-oiled machine. However, sometimes things go wrong, and when that happens, finding the source of damage, illness or disease ...
Oxidative stress mechanisms in tissue injury. Free radical toxicity induced by xenobiotics and the subsequent detoxification by cellular enzymes (termination).. Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.

Vitamin E is “a potent antioxidant and can help fight free radicals,” Dr. Lal explains of the oil’s anti-aging properties. Free radicals often damage the collagen and elastin in the skin ...
Free-radical theory: Damage by free radicals, or more generally reactive oxygen species or oxidative stress, create damage that may give rise to the symptoms we recognise as ageing. [100] The effect of calorie restriction may be due to increased formation of free radicals within the mitochondria , causing a secondary induction of increased ...
[7] Oxidation damage to cellular contents caused by free radicals is believed to contribute to aging as well. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The longest documented human lifespan is 122 years 164 days, the case of Jeanne Calment , who according to records was born in 1875 and died in 1997, whereas the maximum lifespan of a wildtype mouse, commonly used as a model ...
