Aging is not a process of decline; it is a process of continuing to
meet life's challenges and of growing into a complete human being.
Aging is a complex interaction of genetics, chemistry, biology and
physiology; topics that are worthwhile to address. This book offers
a good introduction to the biology and chemistry of aging. It
emphasizes on cellular aging, and covers different areas and
theories which deal with mechanism of aging. If the reader has some
background in biology, then this is an excellent introductionary
book to the biology and chemistry of aging. The book includes
information on aging of cell and reversal of aging, DNA damage
theory of aging, acidity, oxidative stress, radicals, insulin/IGF
hormones, anabolic and catabolic hormones, testosterone and
estrogen, energy through conversion between NAD+ and NADH, DNA
transcription to RNA, and RNA translation to protein. This book is
the first of its kind in providing scientists, physicians,
pharmacists, engineers, teachers, computer programmers, and anyone
with a background or strong interest in biology, chemistry, and
aging. The book deals with scientific causes of aging, and
philosophical and sociological implication of life-extension and
research on aging. I recommend it for those serious about the
biology and chemistry of aging.
