Hormones that regulate reproduction act in an antagonistic pleiotropic manner to control aging via cell cycle signaling; promoting growth and development early in life in order to achieve reproduction, but later in life, in a futile attempt to maintain reproduction, become dysregulated and drive senescence. It is basically an antagonist pleiotropy theory that is able to explain why and how we age at the evolutionary, physiological and molecular levels. Tags: Edit this page |
