Prenatal thyroid hormones accelerate postnatal growth and telomere shortening in wild great tits

2021-12-22

Abstract excerpt

Early-life environment is known to affect later-life health and disease, which could be mediated by the early-life programming of telomere length, a key hallmark of ageing. According to the fetal programming of telomere biology hypothesis , variation in prenatal exposure to hormones is likely to influence telomere length. Yet the contribution of key metabolic hormones, i.e . thyroid hormones (THs), has been larg...
