New anti-aging molecule could be coming up in way

...s been found to act by activating an enzyme called manganese superoxide dismutase (found in the mitochondria of the cell), which hydrolyses the harmful superoxide to less harmful hydrogen peroxide. Free radicals are chemical entities that contain free electrons and because they contain free electrons, they a...
