BALTIMORE, MD. - "The use
of antioxidants to combat free
radicals, which promote aging and
disease in both humans and
animals, could produce healthier,
more productive livestock,” said
Dr. Denham Harman of the
University of Nebraska Medical
School at a technical symposium
held here recently.
Sponsored by Monsanto, the
symposium was conducted in
conjunction with the Maryland
Nutrition Conference. In his ad
dress entitled, “Free Radicals and
Aging,” Harman, who is an
authority on the aging process,
pointed out that free radical
reactions speed aging by
oxidation, and contribute to the
deterioration of the cardiovascular
and central nervous systems.
Free radicals, he explained, are
fragments of molecules present in
very low concentrations during the
course of free radical reactions.
Antioxidants, conversely, are
chemical compounds that by
sible for financial organization,
overall corporate structure and
general functions of marketing and
finance.
A native of Lansing, Mich.,
Buckhn attended both Lansing
Community College and Miller
sville University majoring in
Business Administration. He
resides in Lancaster with his wife,
Lisa.

Livestock aging studied
inhibiting oxidation can increase
livestock longevity and foster
greater health, productivity and
weight gain, Harman added.
Experiments performed on rats,
fruit flies, nematodes and mice
have shown increased lifespans in
each case, Harman reported.
Mice, for example, lived 20 percent
longer when supplied antioxidants
throughout life, starting shortly
after weaning. Translated to
human terms, he said this
represented an increase in lifespan
from 74 to 89 years.
