“The novelty and merit of this work is that the authors demonstrate, for the first time, that [telomere transcription] occurs in response to physical exercise in a physiological system—human muscle,” ...

Previous studies have shown telomere length is closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress, and it is known that exercise can suppress both factors over time. “Just because you’re 40 ...

Shorter leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with several chronic diseases, but only a few studies have assessed the association between dietary factors and LTL. Our objective was to ...

We assessed the relationship between measures of adiposity, leukocyte telomere length, and mortality and whether it is modified by age. For this secondary analysis of data, we utilized the 1999 ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more ...

A new study suggests that people with shorter protective caps at the ends of their chromosomes, called telomeres, may have a ...

Regular intensive exercise slows cellular aging by maintaining ... There was no significant difference in telomere length between those with low or moderate physical activity and the sedentary ...

On the other hand, regular physical activity, a nutrient-rich Mediterranean diet, and stress management have been shown to preserve telomere length. For instance, moderate exercise and antioxidant ...

Telomere length can be affected by genetics ... quantified their modifiable risk factors such as blood pressure, diet, exercise, stress and the strength of social relationships.

The study did not find that the telomere length directly causes these age-related brain diseases. However, it indicates that healthier lifestyle choices might significantly counteract the harmful ...

The team’s study Modification of the telomerase gene with human regulatory sequences resets mouse telomeres to human length appears in Nature Communications. Globally, scientists are working to ...
