Geroprotection refers to strategies and interventions aimed at delaying, preventing, or reversing age-related decline in health and function. This field encompasses a broad range of approaches, from lifestyle modifications to pharmaceutical interventions. Geroprotection operates through various biological mechanisms. These may include reducing oxidative stress, enhancing DNA repair, improving metabolic efficiency, modulating immune function, and regulating gene expression related to aging. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective geroprotectors. | Geroprotection refers to strategies and interventions aimed at delaying, preventing, or reversing age-related decline in health and function.
