Redox-regulation and life-history trade-offs: scavenging mitochondrial ROS improves growth in a wild bird

It has been proposed that animals usually restrain their growth because fast growth leads to an increased production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), which can damage mitochondrial DNA and promote mitochondrial dysfunction. Here, we explicitly test whether this occurs in a wild bird...
