Telomere shortening in smokers with and without COPD

28 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres are complex DNA-protein structures located at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomere length shortens with age in all replicating somatic cells. It has been shown that tobacco smoking enhances telomere shortening in circulating lymphocytes. The present study investigated whether this effect was further amplified in smokers who develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Telomere length was...
