  • 108 Accesses

Abstract

Over the past decades, with the “progressive aging of the population”, increased attention has been given to the pathology associated with advancing age and characterized not so much or not only by vascular disorders but, more importantly, by the impairment of neuronal and metabolic functions [6, 24].
