aging Flashcards
mitochondria prone to damage
true
if mitochondrşa function declines cells and organs…
deteriorate
when telemoers ebcome too short
cells stop replicating and die
as we get older stem cells decrease in number and lose their regenerative potential
true
lowest life expentecy and higest
lowest central african 53
longest japan 83
devekoped countries more than
70 years
The average human life expectancy has increased in recent years due to
changes and developments in disease management,
the socio-economic status,
nutritional status of individuals,
as well as fewer accidents and wars
our cells have limited cell dvision
true
with aging some imprtant seceretions are repressed
true
The aging can be monitored by
the loss and shortening oftelomeresat the chromosomal level,
changes in activity of mitochondria,
the accumulation of lipofuscins
lipofuscins
Lipofuscinis a yellow/Brown pigmentgranulescomposed oflipid-containing residues.
It is considered to be one of the aging or “wear-and-tear” pigments, found in theliver,kidney,heart, muscle, retina,adrenals,nervecells andganglioncells.
Lipofuscin accumulation
in the eye, is a major risk factor inmacular degeneration.
in the nervous system, is risk factor in neurological disease (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
in the muscle, is a risk factor in cardiac disease and muscle disease.

oxidative stress
we produce dangerus molecules especially in energy production in mitochindria
for atp ve need =2 the same ocygen as a byproduct
to be stable they want to give electron so they cause damage
because electrons have high energy
risky if it affects DNA (smoking, cancer)
stressed depressed individuals age faster
true
pruple and red colour vegetables have
lycopene and selenium
they slow down radical damage
