Q

The average human life expectancy has increased in recent years due to

Q

The aging can be monitored by

A

the loss and shortening oftelomeresat the chromosomal level,
changes in activity of mitochondria,
the accumulation of lipofuscins

Q

lipofuscins

A

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.

Q

oxidative stress

A

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)

16
Q

glycation

A

glucose sugar from what we eat binds to some of our DNA, proteins and lipids, leaving them unable to do their jobs.

prevent proper DNA replication

lycations are formed in high amounts in diabetes but also in the physiological organism during aging.

HbA1c, the adduct of hemoglobin and glucose, can be used as a major indicator forhyperglycemiawithin the last three weeks

The problem becomes worse as we get older, causing body tissues to malfunction, resulting in disease and death.

This may explain why studies in various laboratory animals indicate that restricting calorie intake extends lifespan.

or even affect proper RNA synthesis

less RNA DNA syntehsis

17
Q

calorie-restricted diet

A

can live longer

18
Q

we check diabetes with…

A

hemoglobin protein
because blood can vary

19
Q

telomere length

A

one of the junk region is telomeres there are no genes on but they protect our DNA from damage
if they are damaged chromosomes loose stability then break down then age

20
Q

when telomeres are too short

A

cells die

20
Q

shortening of telemores…

A

aging of cells + death of cells

21
Q

telomerase enzyme

A

they are silenced
they can produce telomeres
so telomeric regions are not replaced
cancer cells have active telomerase enzyme
it is one of the main parameters
because of that cancer cells are immortal cells

22
Q

if damaged cell dont die

A

they turn to cancer
if you live long enough you will eventually have cancer

23
Q

photoaging

A

more UV exposure more DNA damage more radical formation

24
Q

oxidative

A

Antioxidant levels are determined by theoxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) score. The ORAC score is the ability of a plant to absorb free radicals and eliminate them. ​The National Institute on Agingdeveloped this measurement, and it is based on 100 g of the herb or food.

25
Q

oxidative stresss

A

A major cause of aging is “oxidative stress.”

It is the damage to DNA, proteins and lipids (fatty substances) caused by oxidants, which are highly reactive substances containing oxygen (ROS).

These oxidants are produced normally by cellular activities (such as oxidative respiration), and also result from inflammation, infection and consumption of alcohol and cigarettes.

ROS causes mtDNA mutation accumulation and deficiency in energy production

In one study, scientists exposed worms to two substances that neutralize oxidants, and the worms’ lifespan increased an average 44 percent

26
Q

oxidative stress giren çıkan

A

giren: radiation, respiration, radical generators

çıkan: lipid peroxidation, nucleic acid damage, protein oxidation
