Telomere Dynamics in Rhesus Monkeys: No Apparent Effect of Caloric Restriction
22 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
The role of telomere attrition in limiting the replicative capacity of cells in culture is well established. In humans, epidemiologic evidence suggests telomere length (TL) in leukocytes is highly variable at birth and inversely related to age. Although calorie restriction (CR) significantly increases life span in most rodent models, its association with TL is unknown. Using linear regression analysis, TLs (as...
