CR appears to slow aging and extend the mean and maximum life spans by lowering free-radical production and lessening DNA oxidative damage (e.g., 8-oxo-dG) [ 153].
If al-Qaeda, or the myriad other extremist Islamist groups, can only survive by keeping alliances with the tribes, then it follows that the US might ultimately need the tribes' support to lessen radical Islam's grip on the area.

Antioxidants may act as electron donors to the free radicals (here, Fe+2) to make them stable molecules, thus lessening the oxidative stress towards LDL molecules.
With regard to the retina, melanin can act biochemically as an antioxidant in retinal pigment epithelial cells, lessening the harmful effects of UV-induced oxygen free radicals.
Interestingly, in the case of rectal tumours, there is some evidence that the prognostic effect of CRM involvement is lessened following radical resections (Merchant et al, 1999), and it is possible that a similar situation exists in oesophageal cancer.
