Is Leukocyte Telomere Length Related with Lung Cancer Risk?: A Meta-Analysis
Background: Epidemiological studies have probed the correlation between telomere length and the risk of lung cancer, but their findings are inconsistent in this regard. The present meta-analysis study has been carried out to demonstrate the association between relative telomere length in peripheral blood leukocytes and the risk of lung cancer using an established Q-PCR technique. Methods:...
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 کاملPotassium Current Is Not Affected by Long-Term Exposure to Ghrelin or GHRP-6 in Somatotropes GC Cells
Ghrelin is a growth hormone (GH) secretagogue (GHS) and GHRP-6 is a synthetic peptide analogue; both act through the GHS receptor. GH secretion depends directly on the intracellular concentration of Ca(2+); this is determined from the intracellular reserves and by the entrance of Ca(2+) through the voltage-dependent calcium channels, which are activated by the membrane depolarization. Membrane ...
متن کاملEarthquake Experience at Different Trimesters during Pregnancy Is Associated with Leukocyte Telomere Length and Long-term Health in Adulthood
Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a predictor of age-related diseases, cancer, and even early mortality. Prenatal stress experience has been suggested to associate with short LTL and an increased disease risk in adult life. The present study aimed to evaluate the 39-year effects of prenatal earthquake stress (PES) exposure on LTL and increased age-related disease risk in adulthood. Here, we co...
متن کاملChildhood Obesity Is Associated with Shorter Leukocyte Telomere Length
CONTEXT Obesity in adults is associated with shorter mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a marker of biological age that is also associated with age-related conditions including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, studies of childhood obesity and LTL have proved inconclusive. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to clarify the relationship between telomere length and ch...
