Age Related Changes in 5‐methylcytosine Content in Human Peripheral Leukocytes and Placentas: an HPLC‐based Study
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
The goal of the present study was to investigate inter-individual and age-dependent variation of global DNA methylation in human tissues. In this work, we examined 5-methyldeoxycytidine ((met)C) content by HPLC in human peripheral blood leukocytes obtained from 76 healthy individuals of ages varying from 4 to 94 years (yr), and 39 human placentas from various gestational stages. The HPLC analysis revealed a...
