Comparison of the Relative Telomere Length Measured in Leukocytes and Eleven Different Human Tissues
15 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
The relative length of telomeres measured in peripheral blood leukocytes is a commonly used system marker for biological aging and can also be used as a biomarker of cardiovascular aging. However, to what extent the telomere length in peripheral leukocytes reflects telomere length in different organ tissues is still unclear. Therefore, we have measured relative telomere length (rTL) in twelve different human...
