Modulating Aging and Longevity »

This volume, comprising the fifth in a series on the biology of aging, addresses a range of important issues relating to the biology of aging and the modulation of biological aging. The seventeen chapters address such topics as early-life factors modulating lifespan; slowing down cellular aging in vitro; hormensis in aging and longevity; antioxidants as modulators; the effect of melatonin on longevity; the effect of caloric restriction on aging; and gene expression profiling to study aging and its modulation. Of likely utility to undergraduate and graduate students, post graduates taking up research projects, and those in the pharmaceutical, cosmaceutical, nutraceutical, and health care industries.
