Telomeres are nucleoprotein caps flanking DNA. They are shortened by cell division and
oxidative stress and are lengthened by the enzyme telomerase and DNA exchange during …

Atherosclerosis starts early in life and progresses silently for decades. Considering
atherosclerosis as a “systemic disease” invites the use of noninvasive methodologies to …

Background Even before the onset of age-related diseases, obesity might be a contributing
factor to the cumulative burden of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation throughout the …

Objective—To determine the association between leukocyte telomere length (TL) and
atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae stroke and myocardial infarction. Methods and …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial disease with a high prevalence, particularly
in developing countries. Currently, the investigation of telomeres as a potential tool for the …

Telomeres shorten with age, the major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
(aCVD). The observation of shorter telomeres in aCVD patients thus suggested that critical …

Background: Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) shortening is associated with cardiovascular
ischemic events and mortality in humans, but data on its association with subclinical …

Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of the study is to explore the evidence linking
telomere length with atherosclerotic ischemic disease. Recent Findings There has been a …

Short telomeres are associated with atherosclerosis. However, the temporal relationship
between atherosclerosis and telomere length is unclear. The objective of this work was to …

Telomeres are repetitive tandem DNA sequences that cap chromosomal ends protecting
genomic DNA from enzymatic degradation. Telomeres progressively shorten with cellular …
