Accelerated telomere shortening in peripheral blood lymphocytes after occupational polychlorinated biphenyls exposure

5 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are organochlorine pollutants with a worldwide dissemination. We examined telomere length (TL) in peripheral blood cells of 207 individuals with a high body burden of PCBs due to occupational exposure in a transformer recycling company. Whereas TL in granulocytes was not affected, the age-adjusted TL in lymphocytes (∆TL Lymph ) of exposed individuals was significantly shorter than...
