Premature telomere shortening and impaired regenerative response in hepatocytes of individuals with NAFLD
31 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The risk factors associated with poor prognosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are not fully understood. Our aim was to assess the role of progressive hepatocellular telomere shortening in the clinical course of NAFLD. METHODS: We measured average telomere lengths in liver tissue samples from 44 patients with NAFLD by quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization using a telomere-specific...
