Telomere length is independently associated with age, oxidative biomarkers, and sport training in skeletal muscle of healthy adult males
28 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
In skeletal muscle, which mainly contains postmitotic myonuclei, it has been suggested that telomere length remains roughly constant throughout adult life, or shortens in response to physiopathological conditions in muscle diseases or in the elderly. However, telomere length results from both the replicative history of a specific tissue and the exposure to environmental, DNA damage-related factors, therefore the...
