Increased telomere size in sperm cells of mammals with long terminal (TTAGGG)n arrays
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
An increase in the length of telomeres in human sperm compared to somatic cells has long been noted and considered within a popular hypothesis involving telomere shortening and cell aging. In the present study we determined telomere length in two species with long terminal TTAGGG arrays--bovine and porcine. Using several independent methods we demonstrate that the telomeres in the sperm of human, porcine and...
