Cross-species Association Between Telomere Length and Glucocorticoid Exposure

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Chronic exposure to glucocorticoids (GCs) or stress increases the risk of medical disorders, including cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric disorders. GCs contribute to accelerated aging; however, while the link between chronic GC exposure and disease onset is well established, the underpinning mechanisms are not clear. OBJECTIVE: We explored the potential nexus between GCs or stress exposure and telomere...
