The Free Radical Theory of Ageing: Does it apply to Antarctic and Temperate Sea
ii Sea urchins were used as a model organism to investigate oxidative damage with age as they are readily available in both temperate and Antarctic environments and growth data is known. The free radical theory of aging was first proposed in the 1950’s by Denham Harman and is one of the most popular...
