Free Radicals and Extrinsic Skin Aging
Human skin is constantly directly exposed to the air, solar radiation, environmental pollutants, or other mechanical and chemical insults, which are capable of inducing the generation of free radicals as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) of our own metabolism. Extrinsic skin damage develops due to several factors: ionizing radiation, severe physical and psychological stress, alcohol intake,...
متن کاملFree radicals and brain aging.
We reviewed here the formation of free radicals and its effect physiologically. Studies mentioned above have indicated that free radical/ROS/RNS involvement in brain aging is direct as well as correlative. Increasing evidence demonstrates that accumulation of oxidation of DNA, proteins, and lipids by free radicals are responsible for the functional decline in aged brains. Also, lipid peroxidati...
متن کاملTheories of biological aging: genes, proteins, and free radicals.
Traditional categorization of theories of aging into programmed and stochastic ones is outdated and obsolete. Biological aging is considered to occur mainly during the period of survival beyond the natural or essential lifespan (ELS) in Darwinian terms. Organisms survive to achieve ELS by virtue of genetically determined longevity assuring maintenance and repair systems (MRS). Aging at the mole...
متن کاملFree radicals in aging: causal complexity and its biomedical implications.
Superoxide generated adventitiously by the mitochondrial respiratory chain can give rise to much more reactive radicals, resulting in random oxidation of all classes of macromolecules. Harman's 1956 suggestion that this process might drive aging has been a leading strand of biogerontological thinking since the discovery of superoxide dismutase. However, it has become apparent that the many down...
متن کاملExtrinsic aging
Age-associated skin lesions linked to UV radiation (UVR) include actinic keratosis, non-melanoma skin cancer-such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma-lentigo senilis and lentigo maligna. Their incidence is increasing worldwide, mainly due to exaggerated UV exposure and to an aging population. Early diagnosis and therapy of pre-malignant cutaneous lesions is crucial for the secon...
