Leukocyte Telomere Length in Alzheimer’s Disease Patients with a Different Rate of Progression
25 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Age and short leukocyte telomeres have been associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inflammation is involved in AD and it is suggested that anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 (IL-10) may partly antagonize these processes. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to correlate telomere length (TL) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with AD to disease progression rate. Moreover, we...
