Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in cellular function and aging. This article explores the mechanisms by which oxidative stress affects cellular components, the implications for aging and age-related diseases, and potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate oxidative damage. Understanding the intricate relationship between oxidative stress and cellular aging can provide insights into developing interventions to promote healthy aging and longevity.
