Aging Theory — Human Life Span and Programmed Aging Theory

aging-theory-human-life-span
Aging theories cover the biochemical, genetic, and physiological properties of a typical organism, and the way these properties change with time. Genetic theories deal with speculations regarding the identity of aging genes, accumulation of errors in the genetic machinery, programmed senescence, and telomeres. Biochemical theories are concerned with energy metabolism, generation of free (more…)

Aging Theory — Error Catastrophe Theory

aging theory
Aging theories cover the physiological, genetic, biochemical properties of a typical organism, and the way these properties change with time. Theories of genetic dealing with the identity of aging obesity genes, accumulation of errors in the genetic machinery, programmed senescence, and telomeres theory. Biochemical theories are concerned with generation of free radicals, the rate of living, energy metabolism, and the health of mitochondria. While Theory of Physiological deal most entirely with the endocrine system and the purpose of hormones in governing the rate of cellular aging. (more…)
