<< Catalase is the anti-H2O2 enzyme. Superoxide dismutase works on superoxide 
 radicals. (And EUK-134 has the activity of both enzymes, just to keep up my 
 record of mentioning EUK-134 in every post.) Overexpressing superoxide 
 dismutase and catalase by genetic engineering works as a life-extension 
 method in C. elegans (almost as well as EUK-134) ... >>

Wesley?) is stupid, so don't take my word for anything. >>

Hi Walker and the list,

OK, you are on AOL so you are stupid; so I must not  take into account your 
advice: "don't take my word for anything." 

That let me with what I must take into account.
First question: where can I find EUK-134. I am sure if I ask at the next 
corner groceries, they tell me they have not it (mind you: they have not even 
RP-1 rocket fuel!)

High concentration O2 is bad, I am convinced, too few is bad too. No oxygen = 
no energy = a build up of free radicals, that is why anti-oxydants are good 
in ischemic conditions.
The question is: what is the optimum O2 level? it must come from an 
adaptative process, so I would say it is the atmospheric level in african 
pains (the origin domain of man). Now, evolution has a fair amount of inertia 
and O2 level has not always been what it is now. At some epoch it peaked at 
near 30 per cent... Because actual level is rather low on the historical 
scale, I would guess we are adapted to an optimum higher than the current 
partial pressure in the atmosphere. This was my basic logic for testing 
atmospheric content with more O2.

Now, if I can find a supermarket with EUK-134.... guess my choice :-)
