Protein Oxidation and Aging

<p><b>Reviews our current understanding of the role of protein oxidation in aging and age-related diseases</b></p> <p>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.</p> <p><i>Protein Oxidation and Aging</i> begins with a description of the tremendous variety of protein oxidation products. Furthermore, it covers:</p> <ul> <li>Major aspects of the protein oxidation process</li> <li>Cellular mechanisms for managing oxidized proteins</li> <li>Role of protein oxidation in aging</li> <li>Influence of genetic and environmental factors on protein oxidation</li> <li>Measuring protein oxidation in the aging process</li> <li>Protein oxidation in age-related diseases</li> </ul> <p>References at the end of each chapter serve as a gateway to the growing body of original research studies and reviews in the field.</p>
