This book is aimed at persons interested in a molecular explanation of how our cells age. Human Longevity: Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Bioenergetics, Molecular Biology, and Evolution is built on the proposition that we age as our mitochondria age. It suggests a revised version of Harman's famous hypothesis featuring mitochondrial oxidative and energy stresses as the root causes of aging. Human cells are protected from the ravages of aging by a battery of defensive systems including some novel mechanisms against membran 606 $aAging$xGenetic aspects 606 $aMitochondria 606 $aOxidative stress 606 $aOmega-3 fatty acids$xHealth aspects 615 0$aAging$xGenetic aspects. 615 0$aMitochondria. 615 0$aOxidative stress. 615 0$aOmega-3 fatty acids$xHealth aspects. 676 $a612.6/7 686 $aMED008000$aSCI049000$aTEC012000$2bisacsh 700 $aValentine$b Raymond C$0107115 701 $aValentine$b David L$01587203 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800188203321 996 $aHuman Longevity$93874670 997 $aUNINA
