Biology of Aging, Second Edition presents the biological principles
that have led to a new understanding of the causes of aging and
describes how these basic principles help one to understand the
human experience of biological aging, longevity, and age-related
disease. Intended for undergraduate biology students, it describes
how the rate of biological aging is measured; explores the
mechanisms underlying cellular aging; discusses the genetic
pathways that affect longevity in various organisms; outlines the
normal age-related changes and the functional decline that occurs
in physiological systems over the lifespan; and considers the
implications of modulating the rate of aging and longevity. The
book also includes end-of-chapter discussion questions to help
students assess their knowledge of the material. Roger McDonald
received his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and
is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Nutrition at the
University of California, Davis. Dr. McDonald's research focused on
mechanisms of cellular aging and the interaction between nutrition
and aging. His research addressed two key topics in the field: the
relationship between dietary restriction and lifespan, and the
effect of aging on circadian rhythms and hypothalamic regulation.
