The paper presents a brief overview of the problems in studying the aging under the influence of oxidative reactions in the Human body. The features of the free radical theory of aging were analyzed, the role of antioxidant enzymes was considered. Aging is a complex of processes and phenomena occurring in the Human body under the influence of various factors, the oxidative metabolism has an important role in this process. The study of the mechanisms of aging opens up the prospect of using this knowledge to find methods to prolong human life.
