Abstract:
Telomeres are a crucial factor in the preservation of genomic integrity, and an elevated risk for diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular events is related to shortened telomeres. However, telomere deterioration could be caused by factors such as chronic oxidative stress and inflammation, which are promoted by an imbalance among reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the relationship between telomeres and oxidative stress. The serum leucocyte telomer length (LTL), serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and the total serum lipid panel o

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by shorter leukocyte telomere length, but the relationship between leukocyte telomere length and type 2 diabetes mellitus development is rather questioned. Fasting and post-load glycaemia associated with different types of insulin resistance and their relation with leukocyte telomere length remains unknown. We compared leukocyte telomere length and fasting or post-load glucose levels in persons who do not receive glucose lowering treatment.

Abstract:
AbstractTelomeres are the protective end caps of chromosomes and shorten with every cell division. Telomere length has been proposed as a biomarker of biological age and a risk factor for age-related diseases. Epidemiologic studies show an association between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and mortality. There is solid evidence that links LTL with cardiovascular disease. Short telomeres promote atherosclerosis and impair the repair of vascular lesions. Alzheimer’s disease patients have also a reduced LTL.

AbstractAging is a significant factor influencing the course of multiple sclerosis (MS). Accelerated telomere attrition is an indicator of premature biological aging and a potential contributor to various chronic diseases, including neurological disorders.

We measured the average leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in biobanked DNA samples of 40 relapsing-remitting MS patients (RRMS), 20 primary progressive MS patients (PPMS), and 60 healthy controls using a multiplex quantitative polymerase chain react

Over the past decade, telomeres have attracted increasing attention due to the role they play in human fertility.

The aim of this study was to run a comprehensive study to investigate the role of STL and LTL in male spermatogenesis and infertility.

Abstract:
Background Maintenance of telomere length has long been established to play a role in the biology of cancer, and several lines of evidence suggest that it may be especially important in myeloid malignancy. Measuring leukocyte telomere length (LTL) directly in case control studies is problematic because telomere length is likely to be influenced by the disease process. Recent studies have led to the identification of a robust genetic predictor of LTL, which we have used to compare differences in predicted telomere length in case control studies of myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes

In a graying world, there is an increasing interest in correlates of aging, especially those found in early life. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an emerging marker of aging at the cellular level, but little is known regarding its link with poor decision making that often entails being overly impatient. Here we investigate the relationship between LTL and the degree of impatience, which is measured in the laboratory using an incentivized delay discounting task. In a sample of 1,158 Han Chinese undergraduates, we observe that steeper delay discounting, indexing higher degree of impatience, i

Background: Aging is a physiological process characterised by a progressive dysfunction in metabolism and impaired tissue repair capacity, eventually leading to organs’ and tissue degeneration. Low-grade inflammation is currently considered the main driver of aging. The measure of telomeres length in peripheral leukocytes (LTL) has been suggested as novel and reliable marker of aging. The aim of this PhD was to investigate the association between (LTL), chronic inflammation and common cardio-metabolic risk factors.

Abstract:
Telomeres are the outermost parts of linear chromosomes. They consist of tandemly repeated non-coding short nucleotide sequences (TTAGGG in all vertebrates), in humans spanning over the last 2 to 15 kilobase pairs of the chromosome. Due to the end-replication problem, telomeres shorten with each cellular division. A critically short telomere will trigger the cell to enter a state of cellular senescence or to apoptose. The rate of telomere shortening can be accelerated by factors such as oxidative stress and inflammation. Taken together, this contributed to making telomere length a candidate bi
