Oxidative Stress in Relation to Aging and Exercise

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, resulting disruption redox signaling control causing molecular damage. related to a variety diseases, for example, cardiovascular neurodegenerative infections, cancer. It might be that oxidative stress, and, more specifically, reactive oxygen species (ROS), affects longevity subtle way through signaling. Possible therapies reduce elderly are nutritional intervention (for caloric restriction (CR)) exercise. Exercise associated with favorable changes expression antioxidant enzymes status general. A diet CR also seems promising by decreasing oxidant emission improving mechanisms. better understanding where mechanisms fail could big step forward developing new (such as exercise or diet) prevent damage cellular dysfunction age.
