The association between stressors and telomeres in non‐human vertebrates: a meta‐analysis

Volume: 23, Issue: 2, Pages: 381 - 398
Published: Nov 27, 2019
Abstract
Animal response to stressors such as harsh environmental conditions and demanding biological processes requires energy generated through increased mitochondrial activity. This results in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In vitro and some in vivo studies suggest that oxidative damage of DNA caused by ROS is responsible for telomere shortening. Since telomere length is correlated with survival in many vertebrates, telomere loss is...
