Document Summary
Systems biology looks at the complex interactions in biological systems and is applied to the study of health, disease and aging (is very new) Reductionist looks at isolated models (molecules, cells, organs, and tissues) Leptin curbs the feeling to eat good at burning fat, but most obese. Integration looks at the whole-body or organism individuals are not leptin deficient looking at the isolated model proves that it could be fat burning but once it is administered it can only work in high doses. Vo2 max is your aerobic potential muscle mitochondrial content limits vo2 max in single leg extension model, but it does not limit vo2 mas in the rest of the body. Systems biology study of genes, molecules, proteins on a bigger scale. Yes reactive oxygen species can induce oxidative damage that promotes aging and disease and antioxidants protect the cell from these damaging effects.
