## Abstract In the present study, the question if medium‐term (4 months) caloric restriction (40%) decreases mitochondrial H~2~O~2~ production and oxidative DNA damage was investigated. Caloric restriction (CR) is the only experimental manipulation that increases maximum life span. Previous long‐te
## Abstract Increasing evidence supports the notion that increased oxidative stress is a fundamental cause in the aging process and in neurodegenerative diseases. As a result, a decline in cognitive function is generally associated with brain aging. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive
