A cell emits lactic acid and free radicals when it isn't getting everything it needs, such as oxygen and glucose 1 0 2Stress, a "respiratory defect", and free radical damage are common factors in disease and aging 1 0 2Melatonin can act as a pro-oxidant at physiologically relevant concentrations 1 0 2Old organisms are easily injured by inappropriate excitation 1 0 2The inflammatory factors that can promote cell growth can deplete cellular energy to the extent that the cells die from the energetic cost of the repair process, or mutate from defective repairs 1 0 2In the aged brain, glial cells multiply while neurons die 1 0 2Adenosine has a sleep-inducing protective effect and is a free radical scavenger 1 0 2The mitochondrial energy problem, cytochrome oxidase and its regulation; body temperature/pulse-rate cycle disturbance; lipid peroxidation; respiratory defect; altered amino acid uptake; memory impairment; dominance of the excitatory systems vs. the inhibitory adenosine/GABA/progesterone/pregnenolone system are functional and biochemical observations of Alzheimer's disease 1 0 1Increased calcium uptake is associated with lipid peroxidation and cell death 1 0 1The random production of free radicals acts as a signalling process on a strictly physiological level 1 0 2
