Experimental Life Prolongation

This book presents results of lifespan prolongation studies obtained from experimental animal models and clinical and epidemiological human investigations. Modern theories, experimental models, and mathematical models of aging are described, as well as factors identified in lifespan prolongation, such as reduced body temperature, calorie- and protein-restricted diets, antioxidants, enterosorption, motor activity, modulators of genome expression, ionizing radiation, vitamins, microelements, and revitalizers. Gerontologists, physiologists, biochemists, and physicians active in the field of aging will find this book to be an interesting addition to their reference library.
