Association of telomere length with type 2 diabetes, oxidative stress and UCP2 gene variation

OBJECTIVE: High oxidative stress potentially leads to accelerated telomere shortening and consequent premature cell senescence, implicated in type 2 diabetes (T2D) development. Therefore, we studied the association of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) with the presence of T2D, as well as the effect on...
