What are Some Mitochondrial Theories of Aging?

Aging (MIM502000) is a comprehensive manifestation of the decline in physiological functions and disorders of the body during the degenerative period. It is an irreversible life process and is affected by various internal and external factors. The delayed and progressive course of mitochondrial disease suggests that mitochondrial function deteriorates with age. Under normal physiological conditions, the body's own defense system can promptly remove oxygen free radicals generated during energy metabolism. ^[1]
