Acute Exercise Leads to Regulation of Telomere-Associated Genes and MicroRNA Expression in Immune Cells
21 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures that protect chromosomal ends from degradation. These structures progressively shorten during cellular division and can signal replicative senescence below a critical length. Telomere length is predominantly maintained by the enzyme telomerase. Significant decreases in telomere length and telomerase activity are associated with a host of chronic diseases;...
