Abstract

Oxidative stress and inflammation accompany endothelial dysfunction that results from the excessive or uncontrolled production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in older adults. This study was designed to assess the usefulness of serum oxi-inflammatory component combinations in vascular disease prediction and prevention with regard to sex. Women (

Research summary

The paper addresses endothelial dysfunction, which is a significant factor in age-related diseases and overall vascular health. By exploring the role of sex in this context, it contributes to understanding how aging affects vascular function differently in men and women. However, the focus on oxi-inflammatory components for disease prediction and prevention suggests a more symptomatic approach rather than targeting the root causes of aging, limiting its overall impact on the field of longevity research.
