Biochemical and structural changes occurring in the myocardium with aging are mainly resulting from the association of a general tissue atrophy with the hypertrophy of the remaining myocytes. Whilst hypertrophy seems to be a compensatory process to the loss of cardiomyocytes and to a mild systolic h

## Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) typically are characterized as molecules involved in neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration. However, recent evidence from both neuronal and nonneuronal cells suggests that ROS also function as small messenger molecules that are normal components of signal tra
