Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Leukocyte Telomere Length: An Analysis of NHANES 1999–2002
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) induce the expression of the proto-oncogene c-myc which has a role in cellular growth and proliferation programs. The c-myc up-regulates the telomerase reverse transcriptase which adds the telomeres repeating sequences to the chromosomal ends to compensate for the pr...
