Shorter Telomeres in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Older Persons with Sarcopenia: Results from an Exploratory Study
28 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomere shortening in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has been associated with biological age and several chronic degenerative diseases. However, the relationship between telomere length and sarcopenia, a hallmark of the aging process, is unknown.
