Dr Guerra lays out the reduction of molecular oxygen to water and the accumulation of intermediate free radical oxygen species that are reduced via enzymatic activity and anti=oxidants. Aging is related to the auto-oxidation of nucleic acids, protein and significantly, membrane unsaturated molecular species of lipids. 24 July 2020
