Blood leucocyte telomere DNA content predicts vascular telomere DNA content in humans with and without vascular disease
20 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Previous studies have suggested that reduced telomere length in circulating leucocytes in humans is associated with premature vascular disease and by implication, accelerated vascular ageing. Importantly, a link between telomere length in circulating leucocytes and the blood vessel wall has never been established. We, thus, investigated the relationship between vascular wall and circulating leucocyte...
