Redox reactions are intrinsically linked to energy metabolism. Therefore, redox processes
are indispensable for organismal physiology and life itself. The term reactive oxygen species …

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance in cellular redox state due to the accumulation of
reactive oxygen species (ROS). While homeostatic levels of ROS are important for cell …

Aging is a complex phenomenon and its impact is becoming more relevant due to the rising
life expectancy and because aging itself is the basis for the development of age-related …

Cellular redox homeostasis is precisely balanced by generation and elimination of reactive
oxygen species (ROS). ROS are not only capable of causing oxidation of proteins, lipids and …

The production of reactive species is an inevitable by-product of metabolism and thus, life
itself. Since reactive species are able to damage cellular structures, especially proteins, as …

Abstract The Free Radical Theory of Ageing, was first proposed by Denham Harman in the
mid-1950's, based largely on work conducted by Rebeca Gerschman and Daniel Gilbert. At …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones produced in response to oxidative
stress (OS). These proteins are involved in the folding of newly synthesized proteins and …

Protein oxidation readily occurs in postmortem muscle during storage and processing. Over
the past decade new analytical methods have been developed and new aspects of protein …

Adaptive homeostasis is “the transient expansion or contraction of the homeostatic range for
any given physiological parameter in response to exposure to sub‐toxic, non‐damaging …

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the USA affecting 18% of the
population. The cause (s) of anxiety disorders is/are not completely clear, and research in …
