Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by endogenous as well as exogenous sources, cause damage and accumulation of proteins, lipids and DNA s, when defensive (repair) mechanisms of body become weak. These ROS also modulate the signal transduction pathways. These disturbances cause organelle damage, changes in gene expression followed by altered cellular responses which ultimately results into aging.
