Association between oxidative stress and telomere length in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients.
1 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence showed that telomere length was shorter in age-related diseases, but the mechanism of this phenomenon is still unclear. AIM: To determine whether telomere shortening occurs in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D), and explore the effect of antioxidant status on the telomere length. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: T2D patients (no.=62), T1D patients (no.=34), and non-diabetic...
