Telomeres, Senescence and Longevity: The Role of Oxidative Stress and Antioxidants.
2005-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Considerable evidence shows that accumulation of oxidative damage to various cellular macromolecules may be causally associated with cellular senescence and different age-related degenerative diseases. Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures that protect the ends of linear chromosomes. Telomeres in human somatic cells shorten with each cell division. The amount of shortening is largely dependent on the amount of ox...
