Zhang Yuan and Zhao Qingfeng exchanged glances, contemplating the unique physiological phenomena brought about by different environments.
Oxygen is indispensable for humans; aerobic respiration produces a great deal of energy that nourishes every cell in the human body. Without oxygen, humans would suffocate and die within a short period.
However, in the eyes of many biologists, oxygen is also a slow poison!
During human respiration, a harmful substance called "reactive oxygen species" is produced, which can damage biological membrane systems and disrupt intracellular oxidative phosphorylation. This is a direct participant in human disease, aging, and death, posing significant risks to human health and longevity.
The Glizerians' circulatory system does not require oxygen, which naturally makes them longer-lived.
