چکیده
Article history: Received 16 August 2016 Accepted 16 August 2016 Available online 18 August 2016 (Needham et al., 2013), however most studies comparing telomere length (TL) across racial/ethnic groups have found that in general African-Americans tend to have longer telomeres than Whites (Hou et al., 2015; Needham et al., 2013). This counterintuitive finding has led researchers to hypothesize that these differences are due to genetic ancestry, specifically polymorphisms related to genes that regulate TL, or

P-86: Evaluation of Telomere Length, Telomerase and Telomeric Repeat Containing RNA (TERRA) Expression Levels in Cumulus Cells of PCOS Patients
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the reasons of infertility in women with chronic anovulation. Ovulation process is tightly regulated by molecular mechanisms controlling proliferation/differentiation of cells. Telomeres, TTAGGG tandem repeats, are transcribed into a non coding RNA, named TERRA. Recent studies suggest that TERRA sustain several important functions at chromos...
متن کاملCinnamaldehyde and eugenol change the expression folds of AKT1 and DKC1 genes and decrease the telomere length of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs): An experimental and in silico study
Objective(s): To investigate the effect of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol on the telomere-dependent senescence of stem cells. In addition, to search the probable targets of mentioned phytochemicals between human telomere interacting proteins (TIPs) using in silico studies. Materials and Methods: Human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) were studied under treatments with 2.5 µM/ml cinnamaldehyde, 0....

Background & objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are presently isolated from various human tissues such as bone marrow. These cells have relatively high replication potential and can differentiate into various cell lineages with mesodermal and non-mesodermal origin and therefore, show promising in treatment of diseases. Their striking features like availability of source, ease of isolation...
متن کاملEffects of Aerobic Training Combined with Green Tea Extract on Leukocyte Telomere Length, Quality of Life and Body Composition in Elderly Women
Background: Exercise and consumption of green tea affect the aging process. However, the effect of exercise training combined with green tea extract on leukocyte telomere length, quality of life (QoL) and body composition in aging has so far been unclear and inconsistent. Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic training intervention and green tea e...
متن کاملThe effect of high intensity interval training on telomere length and telomerase activity in non-athlete young men
Introduction: Telomeres are DNA portions that are located on the two ends of the chromosome. Telomeres play an important role in cellular life. Exercise is one of the factors that contributes to their control. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on telomere length and telomerase activity in non-athletic young men. ...
