Abstract: Aging is caused by accidental damage through free radicals produced in normal metabolizing organism,and metabolic mechanism of reactive oxygen species play a key role in studying free radicals. With the development of anti-aging active agent and functional food, people are paying more and more attention to yeast, which is the model organism of aging free-radical theory. On the basis of elucidating the metabolic mechanism of reactive oxygen species in yeast, not only the effect of mechanism on cellular oxidation, aging, apoptosis and life span in yeast, but the application of the mechanism in anti-aging discussion were described as well. The remaining problems and the future development prospect of the metabolic mechanism of reactive oxygen species in yeast were also discussed.

Key words: yeast, reactive oxygen species, anti-aging, new model
