Examining the gender difference in the association between metabolic syndrome and the mean leukocyte telomere length
The mechanism of cellular aging likely involves decreased telomere length and is associated with age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important risk factor for CVD. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between LTL and MetS. We evaluated 7370 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2002). T...
متن کاملAssociation 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 کاملHomocysteine levels and leukocyte telomere length.
OBJECTIVE Elevated plasma homocysteine is a risk factor for vascular diseases, possibly due to homocysteine-mediated increase in oxidative stress and inflammation. As leukocyte telomere length (LTL) registers the cumulative oxidative stress and inflammation, we examined the relationship between homocysteine and LTL. METHODS LTL was measured using the Southern blot method. The relationship bet...
متن کاملLeukocyte telomere length: the telomere tale continues.
In culture, replicating human somatic cells display progressive telomere shortening. Ultimately, such cells either undergo apoptosis or enter a state of replicative senescence that is triggered by critically shortened telomeres. Accordingly, telomere length is an index of both the replicative history and the replicative potential of human somatic cells in culture (1). Most replicating human som...
متن کاملAssociation Between Leukocyte Telomere Length and the Risk of Incident Atrial Fibrillation: The Framingham Heart Study
BACKGROUND Advancing age is a prominent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Shorter telomere length is a biomarker of biological aging, but the link between shorter telomere length and increased risk of AF remains unclear. We examined the association between shorter leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and incident AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We included AF-free participants from the observation...
