Association between shortened leukocyte telomere length and cardio-metabolic outcomes.
In their meta-analysis of 27 published studies, D’Mello et al show that shortened leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with 3 primary end points: myocardial infarction, stroke, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The meta-analysis and its findings raise several fundamental issues that are worth considering. After discussing the major findings and limitations, we focus on 3 central themes: th...
متن کاملTelomere length in early life predicts lifespan.
The attrition of telomeres, the ends of eukaryote chromosomes, is thought to play an important role in cell deterioration with advancing age. The observed variation in telomere length among individuals of the same age is therefore thought to be related to variation in potential longevity. Studies of this relationship are hampered by the time scale over which individuals need to be followed, par...
متن کاملNestling telomere shortening, but not telomere length, reflects developmental stress and predicts survival in wild birds.
Developmental stressors often have long-term fitness consequences, but linking offspring traits to fitness prospects has remained a challenge. Telomere length predicts mortality in adult birds, and may provide a link between developmental conditions and fitness prospects. Here, we examine the effects of manipulated brood size on growth, telomere dynamics and post-fledging survival in free-livin...
متن کاملAssociation between shortened leukocyte telomere length and cardiometabolic outcomes: systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Telomeres are repetitive, gene-poor regions that cap the ends of DNA and help maintain chromosomal integrity. Their shortening is caused by inflammation and oxidative stress within the cellular environment and ultimately leads to cellular senescence. Shortened leukocyte telomere length is hypothesized to be a novel biomarker for age and age-related diseases, yet reports on its associ...
متن کاملTelomere length predicts replicative capacity of human fibroblasts.
When human fibroblasts from different donors are grown in vitro, only a small fraction of the variation in their finite replicative capacity is explained by the chronological age of the donor. Because we had previously shown that telomeres, the terminal guanine-rich sequences of chromosomes, shorten throughout the life-span of cultured cells, we wished to determine whether variation in initial ...
