| Abstract |
The disposable soma theory postulates that aging might be the result of tradeoffs between early life reproduction and longevity, thereby involving the costs of reproduction in the expected lifespan. It is known that redox biochemistry plays a major role in these processes. To assess long term effects of reproduction, we analyzed redox rates and the testosterone levels at four different ages, and we performed a principal component analysis between redox measures of five different organs followed by a cluster analysis to determine correlations. The correlations among redox measures between organs were influenced more by reproduction than by age. Non breeders showed no alterations along the aging process up to 24 months, at which point differences were seen. Among breeders, however, we saw differences between three age clusters: cluster 1, 6 month old-animals; cluster 2, 12 month old animals, and cluster 3, 3 and 24 month-old animals. The results show differences between male breeders and non breeders, and provide evidence that oxidative stress plays a role in aging, and that reproduction alters the redox profiles of males. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 October 2017.
All research outputs
#2,126,833
of 23,005,189 outputs
Outputs from Biogerontology
#77
of 659 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#43,697
of 321,749 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biogerontology
#4
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,005,189 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 659 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 321,749 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
