0Due to its high metabolic activity, the liver is subject to a variety of internal and exogenous attacks, such as hydrolysis, oxidation, spontaneous alkylation, ionizing and ["and" here is correct: two types of irradiation] UV irradiation, and so on. Because DNA repair mechanisms decline with age, the accumulation of DNA damage is inevitable.
