A proposed link between aging, autism, and oxidation: "Oxidation inexorably moves us along toward an oxidized state," said pharmaceutical sciences professor Richard Deth. "You have to deal with it progressively."
One option is to slow down the synthesis of new proteins, a process that requires energy. Indeed, as we age, we produce fewer new proteins, which explains why our capacity for learning and healing suffer as we grow old.
