Sex-dependent effects of nutrition on telomere dynamics in zebra finches ( <i>Taeniopygia guttata</i> )
26 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
At a cellular level, oxidative stress is known to increase telomere attrition, and hence cellular senescence and risk of disease. It has been proposed that dietary micronutrients play an important role in telomere protection due to their antioxidant properties. We experimentally manipulated dietary micronutrients during early life in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). We found no effects of micronutrient intake...
