Reviews our current understanding of the role of protein
oxidation in aging and age-related diseases
Protein oxidation is at the core of the aging process. Setting
forth a variety of new methods and approaches, this book helps
researchers conveniently by exploring the aging process and
developing more effective therapies to prevent or treat age-related
diseases. There have been many studies dedicated to the
relationship between protein oxidation and age-related pathology;
now it is possible for researchers and readers to learn new
techniques as utilizing protein oxidation products as biomarkers
for aging.
Protein Oxidation and Aging begins with a description of
the tremendous variety of protein oxidation products. Furthermore,
it covers:
* Major aspects of the protein oxidation process
* Cellular mechanisms for managing oxidized proteins
* Role of protein oxidation in aging
* Influence of genetic and environmental factors on protein
oxidation
* Measuring protein oxidation in the aging process
* Protein oxidation in age-related diseases
References at the end of each chapter serve as a gateway to the
growing body of original research studies and reviews in the
field.
