Introduction: Little is known regarding peripheral blood mononuclear cell telomere length
(PBMC-TL) and response to traumatic injury. The objective of this study was to characterize …

Shorter peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) telomere length (TL) has been associated with
poor outcomes in various chronic lung diseases. Whether PBL-TL is associated with survival …

Introduction: Telomere length (TL) is a biomarker of cellular proliferative history. In healthy
individuals, leukocyte TL shortens with age and associates with the lifespan of men and …

Objective: evaluation of telomere length change in acutely ill adult patients. Design: Blood
samples were drawn on the first and seventh day of intensive care unit (ICU) stay to assess …

Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) is widely considered a marker of cellular ageing. Telomere
attrition has been involved in cardiovascular disorders as a result of inflammatory stress [1] …

Results: Of the 8892 eligible participants, 47.8%(n= 4123) were men. The mean age was
41.8 years overall, 41.0 years in men and 42.6 in women (p= 0.238). The sex-stratified …

Inter-individual differences in biological aging could affect susceptibility to stroke. To date,
the relationship between stroke and telomere shortening remain inconclusive; and sparse …

Telomere length has been suggested to be a cellular marker for age-related diseases as
well as psychosocial stress. The present study investigated whether telomere length is …

Aims Interindividual variability in telomere length is highly heritable. Leukocyte telomere
length (LTL) shortening has been shown to be associated with the process of …

Objective—We have previously demonstrated that ischemic cardiomyopathy is associated
with selective impairment of progenitor cell function in the bone marrow and in the …
