Aging represents a complex biological progression affecting the entire body, marked by a gradual decline in tissue function, rendering organs more susceptible to stress and diseases. The human heart holds significant importance in this context, as its aging process poses life-threatening risks. It entails macroscopic morphological shifts and biochemical changes that collectively contribute to diminished cardiac function. Among the numerous pivotal factors in aging, mitochondria play a critical role, intersecting with various molecular pathways and housing several aging-related agents. In this comprehensive review, we provide an updated overview of the functional role of mitochondria in cardiac aging.
衰老代表着一个影响全身的复杂生物学进程,其特征是组织功能逐渐衰退,使器官更容易受到压力和疾病的影响。在这种情况下,人类心脏至关重要,因为其衰老过程会带来危及生命的风险。它涉及宏观形态变化和生化改变,这些共同导致心脏功能下降。在线粒体众多关键因素中,线粒体起着关键作用,它与各种分子途径相互作用,并包含多种与衰老相关的因子。在这篇全面综述中,我们提供了线粒体在心脏衰老中功能作用的最新概述。
