Anti-aging Effects of Lactoferrin
Reactive Oxygen Species Promotes Aging
Aging is the accumulation of changes in organisms, such as the
appearance of wrinkles and mottled skin. Oxygen and radical oxygen
species are the key risk factors for aging. Molecular dioxygen (O2)
is essential for cellular respiration in all aerobic organisms. In
the mitochondria, oxygen is used to generate adenosine triphosphate
(ATP) during oxidative phosphorylation. In the absence of oxygen
supply, the individual suffers brain death within 5 minutes, and
the heart stops beating within 10 to 20 minutes. Although oxygen is
essential for energy production, its by-product is harmful to
cells. During the process of mitochondrial energy production, a
very low but significant amount of the hydroxyl radical (OH.) is
produced. The hydroxyl radical is highly reactive, and it attacks
any compound immediately after it is produced.
