Oxidative Stress and Aging:: From Chemistry to Human Dietary Supplements
Product Description
Oxidative stress and aging is a multi-dimensional/factorial subject matter encompassing different degrees of organism complexity (from single-cell animals to humans), different molecules (DNA, RNAs, proteins and lipids), different cellular components (mitochondria, cytoplasm and plasma membrane), different tissues and organs, and different human subpopulations including those with different “lifestyles.” This book roughly follows this complexity hierarchy, from molecules to organisms; and within each section, pro- and anti-oxidant components will be presented and human implications will be discussed. Some overlap in coverage of topics is anticipated and this is deemed both necessary and preferable for the existing literature is often controversial. The book concludes with a chapter focusing on possible lifespan extension strategies based on our understanding of oxidative stress protection. A short preface in each of the major sections will be included to summarize the section and briefly mention other topics not specifically covered by the chapters within. The following chapter titles are tentative and will be adjusted according the contributors’ preferences.
Oxidative Stress and Aging:: From Chemistry to Human Dietary Supplements
Stress, the Aging Brain, and the Mechanisms of Neuron Death
Product Description
Looking beyond the now widely recognized relationships between stress and physical illness, this accessible and engagingly written book suggests that stress and stress-related hormones can also endanger the brain. Strategies to reduce stress and methods to protect neurons from further damage are proposed, and the relevance for humans of the animal research findings are clearly delineated. Sapolsky provides an extensive review of the recent, exciting data on glucocorticoids, the adrenal steroid hormones (hydrocortisone or cortisol in humans) that are released during stress. Excessive exposure to these hormones can damage the brain and make neurons more vulnerable to neurological insults. The findings he reports and ideas he synthesizes may have profound implications for understanding brain aging and resistance of the brain to the damaging effects of strokes, seizures, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease. In part I Sapolsky focuses on how the failure of glucocorticoid regulation and subsequent excessive secretion combine to cause a complex cascade of degeneration in the brain during aging. In part 11 he addresses the implications of glucocorticoid neurotoxicity for neurology. Each chapter includes a helpful summary of the major points discussed as well as a capsule review of information from the previous chapters. Robert M. Sapolsky is Associate Professor of Biology and Neuroscience at Stanford University. He is also Research Associate at the Institute for Primate Research, National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, and a MacArthur Fellow.
