Note from the Editor-in-Chief All books in this series illustrate point-of-care testing and critically evaluate the potential of antioxidant supplementation in various medical disorders associated with oxidative stress. Future volumes will be updated as warranted by emerging new technology, or from studies reporting clinical trials. Donald Armstrong Editor-in-Chief

Preface

Aging carries inherent risk upon which distinct diseases are superimposed. Normal physiological processes tend to develop pathological aspects, which further disrupt declining tissue function. These age-related diseases often exaggerate the typical cellular changes accumulating with time, which are associated with senescence. For this reason, there has been a gradual merging of concepts regarding normal aging and specific disorders. The aim of this book is to describe this interface, emphasizing two
