Telomeres , Diet and Human Disease : Advances and Therapeutic Opportunities (PDF)

by Guillermo Zalba and Amelia Marti, editors

Health depends on the preservation of telomeres , which are repeating sequences near the end of chromosomes .

Aging, cancer , atherosclerosis and other disorders are all influenced by dysfunction in telomere maintenance pathways . Telomere maintenance has become a top focus for patient therapy as a result of this . This book discusses the developments in telomere science as they relate to human health , particularly how food and lifestyle choices may alter the telomerase maintenance process . The book explores the underlying mechanisms, the main ones being oxidative stress and the function of sirtuins , as well as how dietary regimens like the Mediterranean diet might affect them .
