Short fetal leukocyte telomere length and preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes.

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundRupture of the fetal membranes is a common harbinger of imminent labor and delivery. Telomere shortening is a surrogate for oxidative stress (OS) and senescence.

Association between leukocyte telomere length and specific antibody levels after vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020
The primary objective of personalized vaccination is to induce an efficient immune defense while avoiding excessive immunization. Hence, it necessitates the development of methods for predicting the magnitude of the immune response prior to vaccination ...

Influence of breed and environment on leukocyte telomere length in cattle

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
High milk yield is associated with reduced longevity in high-producing dairy cattle breeds. Pre-term culling leads to high replacement heifer demand and economic losses for the dairy industry.

Leukocyte telomere length and hippocampus volume: a meta-analysis [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2015
Leukocyte telomere length has been shown to correlate to hippocampus volume, but effect estimates differ in magnitude and are not uniformly positive.

Telomere Length: A Potential Biomarker for the Risk and Prognosis of Stroke

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Age is associated with increased risk of stroke, while telomere length shortening plays a pivotal role in the process of aging. Moreover, telomere length shortening is associated with

Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse History and Leukocyte Telomere Length among Women in Middle Adulthood. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
OBJECTIVE:Abuse victimization in childhood is associated with a variety of age-related cardiometabolic diseases, but the mechanisms remain unknown. Telomeres, which form the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, have been proposed as measures of ...

Telomere shortening in patients on long-term hemodialysis

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, 2021
Background: Leukocyte telomere length shortening is a characteristic of premature senescence, a process that can be accelerated by oxidative stress. In general, patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD) are repeatedly ...

Frequent Sweetened Beverage Consumption Is Associated With Accelerated Biological Aging: Evidence From a Population‐Based Study and Gut Microbiota Analysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Frequent sweetened beverage consumption is associated with accelerated biological aging in a large Chinese population. Five gut microbial genera are consistently enriched in both frequent sweetened beverage consumers and individuals with accelerated aging and show significant mediating effects, suggesting a potential microbiota‐related pathway linking ...

Assessing the Relationship Between Leukocyte Telomere Length and Cancer Risk/Mortality in UK Biobank and TCGA Datasets With the Genetic Risk Score and Mendelian Randomization Approaches

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
BackgroundTelomere length is an important indicator of tumor progression and survival for cancer patients. Previous work investigated the associations between genetically predicted telomere length and cancers; however, the types of cancers investigated ...

Functional haplotypes of the hTERT gene, leukocyte telomere length shortening, and the risk of peripheral arterial disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: The development of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is heterogeneous even in the presence of similar risk factors. Our aim was to determine whether inter-individual differences in leukocyte telomere length contribute to the susceptibility of
