  Role and impact of Dietary Antioxidants on Aging and Lifespan: A Review

  By Shabnam Khan, Astha Priyadarshini, Niyati Chakravarti, Ritu Raj Singh, Rajesh Kumar

  Abstract: The effect of an antioxidant-rich diet on aging and lifespan has attracted significant scientific attention, primarily through the lens of the free radical theory of aging (FRTA). This theory suggests that oxidative stress caused by an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), accelerates aging and contributes to cellular damage. The accumulation of free radicals and the oxidative damage that is induced significantly contribute to the aging process. This imbalance plays …

  Exploring the Synergistic Effects of Heavy Metal contaminants on Aquatic Organisms

  By Shabnam Khan, Ritu Raj Singh, Astha Priyadarshini, Rajesh Kumar

  Abstract: Human activities have a profound effect on aquatic habitats by altering water and sediment quality, which in turn impacts resident organisms. These changes are primarily caused by pollutants from agricultural, industrial, and health-related sources. Industrial effluents, often containing hazardous heavy metals such as chromium, manganese, and lead, are a major source of environmental toxicity. The discharge of these pollutants makes water unsafe for drinking, irrigation, and industrial uses, necessitating effective …
