Abstract:Aging is the deterioration of physiological mechanisms that is associated with getting old. There is a link between aging and mitochondrial function. In C. elegans, it has been reported that inhibiting the electron transfer system decreases ATP production and extends lifespan. However, it has also been suggested that energy loss due to mitochondrial dysfunction or impairment is a mechanism of diseases and aging. Thus, there is an unresolved relationship between ATP levels and aging. To address this issue, we a… Show more
