About this document
DNA Damage and Antioxidants in Aging by Ika Wijaya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) The document discusses oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage in aging and age-related diseases. 2) It finds that oxidative DNA damage, as measured by 8-oxodG levels, increases with age in human leukocyte DNA. 3) However, the youngest age group (mean age 13 years) had unexpectedly high oxidative DNA damage levels, possibly due to their higher metabolic rates requiring more mitochondrial respiration and reactive oxygen species production.
