Summary

Introduction

The recent insight from the comparative approach has been to link membrane fatty acid composition to maximum lifespan [5]. Membrane fatty acid was linked to maximum lifespan (MLSP) variation among mammals [8]. The reason why membrane fatty acid composition is correlated with MLSP is because fatty acids differ greatly is their susceptibility to lipid peroxidation.
