Chemical kinetic theory of agingA theory of aging based on the principles of the kinetics of chemical
reactions and the rules of natural selection of organisms is proposed. The
theory is based on a hypothesis that the biochemical processes in the organism
can be described in the terms of chemical reaction kinetics. The evolutionary
process of organisms is determined by the goal of continuing life, and the
natural selection forced organisms to develop in an optimized way for survival
and reproduction, after which any further development of the organisms did not
matter for natural selection and therefore was not regulated by it.
Accordingly, the ongoing biochemical processes in the organism after giving
birth were not stabilised and continued casual, which, in the case of complex
systems of biochemical processes, led to imbalances and biochemical processes
that did not contribute to health in the organism, resulting in aging. Based on
this view, it is necessary to look for the key biochemical processes that
regulate the vital activity of the organism. Balancing of these processes in
the period after giving birth can artificially lead to the stabilization of the
kinetics of biochemical reactions, and consequently, the continuation of life
almost indefinitely.
