Telomere dynamics in free-living edible dormice (<i>Glis glis</i>): the impact of hibernation and food supply

15 Aug 2016

Abstract excerpt

We studied the impact of hibernation and food supply on relative telomere length (RTL), an indicator for aging and somatic maintenance, in free-living edible dormice. Small hibernators such as dormice have ∼50% higher maximum longevity than non-hibernators. Increased longevity could theoretically be due to prolonged torpor directly slowing cellular damage and RTL shortening. However, although mitosis is arrested...
