Current research field: metabolic and antioxidant regulation during aging. The importance ofmetabolism and mitochondrial physiology is clear. Many prolongevity effectors regulate mitochondrial activity and turnover and affect endogenous antioxidant activities that seems to be coordinated with metabolism. The role of coenzyme Q and its enzymatic-dependent activities is important in this regulation and in the progression of aging and is the current focus of research. This research has produced 90 international publications, around 20 book chapters and more than 200 contributions to congresses including invited conferences.
