Biomolecular Markers within the Core Axis of Aging and Particulate Air Pollution Exposure in the Elderly: A Cross-Sectional Study
15 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomere length and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content are markers of aging and aging-related diseases. There is inconclusive evidence concerning the mechanistic effects of airborne particulate matter (PM) exposure on biomolecular markers of aging. OBJECTIVE: The present study examines the association between short- and long-term PM exposure with telomere length and mtDNA content in the elderly and...
