Telomeres are shorter in Portuguese obese adults by Catarina Duarte, Maria Teresa Braz, Ana Marques-Ramos, José Silva-Nunes, Luisa Veiga, Miguel Brito

“…In obesity, the secretion of proinflammatory adipokines contributes to oxidative stress that can lead to a decline in the length of telomeres. Telomeres are structures of repetitive sequences delimiting the chromosomes, that plays a crucial role in maintaining their integrity and stability and, thus, its shortening is associated with cellular senescence and possible apoptosis. …”
