Introduction: Aging is a slow and progressive process different from disease, whose main cause is the presence of free radicals and oxidative attacks on mitochondrial DNA in the body. The frequency of mitochondrial DNA deletions would increase exponentially from the age of 50 years to reach considerable levels in older people Objectives: To measure the antioxidant activity of the plasma of healthy women without chronic pathology whose etiology would be related to the oxidative stress, and whose age is lower or equal to 50 years, by scavenging of the free radical ABTS•+.The aim of the study is to observe the evolution of the antiradical capacity of the blood with age, up to 50 years.
Results: The mean antiradical activity of women of ages>40 years was 2.2% higher than that of women of age’s ≤ 40 years. The an.. View More»
