The Relationship between Inflammatory Biomarkers and Telomere Length in an Occupational Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammation from recurring trauma is an underlying pathophysiological basis of numerous diseases. Furthermore, it may result in cell death, scarring, fibrosis, and loss of tissue function. In states of inflammation, subsequent increases in oxidative stress and cellular division may lead to the accelerated erosion of telomeres, crucial genomic structures which protect chromosomes from decay....
