Leucocyte Telomere Length, Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Master Athletes: The Interplay

Leucocyte telomere length, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress play a self-feeding loop that may be cause and consequence of several age-related diseases. However, the interplay of markers of biological aging, oxidative stress and inflammation were not investigated in master athletes who follow an anti-aging lifestyle. PURPOSE: To analyze the leucocyte telomere length (LTL), inflammatory markers and redox profile of master athletes and...
