Programmed Theory of Aging

Aging      Image credit pixabay. Com Understanding the Programmed Theory of Aging:A Comprehensive Guide The mystery of Aging has puzzled humans for centuries. While we can't stop time, scientists have explored the theories that explain why we are growing older. One of the prominent idea is The programmed theory of aging, this theory suggest that aging is n't random, instead a process controlled by our gene.  The Enigma of Aging:A Biological puzzle Aging is a complex puzzle made up of many pieces. Each piece represent biological changes,environmental factors and life choices.  As we try to fit together, we realize that aging involve both our genetics and experiences Programmed Aging:A central Theory in Gerontology Programmed aging proposes that we have a biological clock ticking down through the life. This concept grounded in genetics, implying that our cells are pre-programmed to age and die. This theory stands in contrast to wear and tear theory. Which emphasiz...

Role of protein on ageing

Protein structure  Role of protein on aging  Protein which controls the length of telomere are telomerase and a protein complex known as shelterin.a new study by Scripps Reserch Institute (TSRI) discovered a new protein named as TZAP (telomeric zinc associated protein)which decrease the length of telomeres by trimming,telomere is the clock of a biological cell,if it's length is too short the cell cannot multiply,a human cell can divide maximum 50 times,if it increase more, our life span may increase considerably. Certain proteins undergo oxidisation which are known to be associated with ageing and some age related diseases,when people turn about 80 approximately half of the bady proteins are damaged due to oxidation,the oxidation occurs because of random chemical degradation,that are associated with convertion of food particles to energy ( metabolism) . Protein's mis foldings are another reason for ageing,when native proteins are synthesised in our cells,whic...

What is protein?

What is protein? Protein is the basic components of living cells,it made of carbon,hydrogen,nitrogen and one or more chain of amino acids.Like carbohydrate and fats protein is a macro nutrient it is commonly available in animal products,eggs, meat, milk,yoghurt etc,it also available in beens, nuts,legumes etc.Proteins makeup 15 % of a person's body weight  According to their structure there are three types of proteins are there,they are fibrous, globular,and membrane.Fibrous proteins forms muscle  fibre, bones,connetive tissues and tendons,eg;actin,myosin,karatin.Globular protein is water soluble,they have so many functions in our body such as transporting,catalysing,and regulating ,eg; albumin,alphaglobin,hemoglobin etc.  According to their functions proteins are catagarised to eight groups,they are hormones, defensive proteins, enzymatic proteins,transport proteins,structural proteins,storage proteins,receptor proteins and contractile proteins. ...
