Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Although accelerated β-cell telomere shortening may be associated with diabetes that shows a dramatically increased incidence with aging, β-cell telomere length in diabetes has never been explored. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to examine telomere length in the β-cells of patients with diabetes. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: We determined telomere length in β- and α-cells of pancreases...
