Protein restriction in lactation confers nephroprotective effects in the male rat and is associated with increased antioxidant expression
21 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Telomere shortening has been implicated in the aging process and various age-associated disorders, including renal disease. Moreover, oxidative stress has been identified as an initiator of accelerated telomere shortening. We have shown previously that maternal protein restriction during lactation leads to reduced renal telomere shortening, reduced albuminuria, and increased longevity in rats. Here we address the...
