Antioxidant Therapy linked to telomerase production and heart failure treatment
A study conducted by the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Kyushu University’s Medical Institute of Bioregulation in Beppu, Japan has connected oxidative stress and the development of heart failure to telomeres and telomerase activity.
Study shows that depression and stress accelerate aging
According to research done by a team at the Department of Medical Bioscience in Umeå University in Sweden, people who exhibit signs of ongoing depression and chronic stress possess shorter telomeres in their white blood cells, which have been previously shown to accelerate the aging process in an individual.
Offspring of high stress mothers prone to premature aging
Mark Haussman and a team of researchers at Bucknell University have recently discovered that high prenatal stress levels during fetal development in chickens leaves offspring at a much greater risk for having oxidative damage, hyperactive stress responses, premature aging, and shorter telomere lengths later in life.
