This book presents results of lifespan prolongation studies obtained from experimental animal models and clinical and epidemiological human investigations. Modern theories, experimental models, and mathematical models of aging are described, as well as factors identified in lifespan prolongation, such as reduced body temperature, calorie- and protein-restricted diets, antioxidants, enterosorption, motor activity, modulators of genome expression, ionizing radiation, vitamins, microelements, and revitalizers. Gerontologists, physiologists, biochemists, and physicians active in the field of aging will find this book to be an interesting addition to their reference library.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Encyclopedia of Biomedical Gerontology, Three Volume Set presents a wide range of topics, ranging from what happens in the body during aging, the reasons and mechanisms relating to those age-related changes, and their clinical, psychological and social modulators and determinants. The book covers the biological and medical aspects of gerontology within the general framework of the biological basis of assessing age, biological mechanisms of aging, age-related changes in biological systems, human age-related diseases, the biomedical practicality and impracticality of interventions, and finally, the ethics of intervention. Provides a ‘one-stop’ resource to information written by world-leading scholars in the field of biomedical gerontology Fills a critical gap of information in a field that has seen significant progress in the last 10 years

"A major landmark contribution to fisheries science and fish ecology. Rockfish populations are in a severe decline throughout the Northeastern Pacific, and the need for a deep understanding of their biology, ecology, and management has never been more critical. This book addresses all aspects of our current knowledge of this diverse and interesting group of groundfish species, and it is written clearly and with humor. An outstanding work!"--Larry G. Allen, California State University, Northridge "Quite simply the best account ever of the fascinating, diverse, and valuable rockfishes. If you are interested in the marine fishes of the Pacific Coast, you need this book."--Peter B. Moyle, author of Inland Fishes of California
