Critical Role for Telomerase in the Mechanism of Flow-Mediated Dilation in the Human Microcirculation
23 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Telomerase is a nuclear regulator of telomere elongation with recent reports suggesting a role in regulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Flow-mediated dilation in patients with cardiovascular disease is dependent on the formation of reactive oxygen species. OBJECTIVE: We examined the hypothesis that telomerase activity modulates microvascular flow-mediated dilation, and loss of telomerase...
