Is Leukocyte Telomere Length Related with Lung Cancer Risk?: A Meta-Analysis
Background: Epidemiological studies have probed the correlation between telomere length and the risk of lung cancer, but their findings are inconsistent in this regard. The present meta-analysis study has been carried out to demonstrate the association between relative telomere length in peripheral blood leukocytes and the risk of lung cancer using an established Q-PCR technique. Methods:...
متن کاملWork-Related Exhaustion and Telomere Length: A Population-Based Study
BACKGROUND Psychological stress is suggested to accelerate the rate of biological aging. We investigated whether work-related exhaustion, an indicator of prolonged work stress, is associated with accelerated biological aging, as indicated by shorter leukocyte telomeres, that is, the DNA-protein complexes that cap chromosomal ends in cells. METHODS We used data from a representative sample of ...
متن کاملMaternal and genetic factors determine early life telomere length.
In a broad range of species--including humans--it has been demonstrated that telomere length declines throughout life and that it may be involved in cell and organismal senescence. This potential link to ageing and thus to fitness has triggered recent interest in understanding how variation in telomere length is inherited and maintained. However, previous studies suffer from two main drawbacks ...
متن کاملAssociation of Telomere Length with Breast Cancer Prognostic Factors
INTRODUCTION Telomere length, a marker of cell aging, seems to be affected by the same factors thought to be associated with breast cancer prognosis. OBJECTIVE To examine associations of peripheral blood cell-measured telomere length with traditional and potential prognostic factors in breast cancer patients. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data collected before surgery f...
متن کاملOne-carbon metabolism factors and leukocyte telomere length.
BACKGROUND Dietary and genetic factors involved in the one-carbon metabolism pathway may affect telomere length through DNA methylation and synthesis, but this has not been comprehensively investigated in epidemiologic studies. OBJECTIVE We cross-sectionally examined associations between dietary and genetic factors in the one-carbon metabolism pathway and relative peripheral blood leukocyte t...
