Physical Activity and Telomere Biology: Exploring the Link with Aging-Related Disease Prevention
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Physical activity is associated with reduced risk of several age-related diseases as well as with increased longevity in both rodents and humans. Though these associations are well established, evidence of the molecular and cellular factors associated with reduced disease risk and increased longevity resulting from physical activity is sparse. A long-standing hypothesis of aging is the telomere hypothesis: as a...
