Methods for the prevention or treatment of disorders and complications of
disorders resulting from cell damage caused by an aging-related isoform
of NADH oxidase (arNOX) are described. The agent for such inhibition
comprises processed various Narcissus tazetta extracts, preferably
IBR-DORMIN.RTM. Narcissus tazetta bulb extract, both alone and in
combination with other inhibition agents, including ubiquinones like
coenzyme Q. These agents bind arNOX and inhibit the ability of arNOX to
generate reactive oxygen species, thereby decreasing the ability of arNOX
to generate reactive oxygen species. Such agents, and their methods of
administration, as extremely effective as part of anti-aging treatments.
