Are the telomere length different in human skeletal muscle upper limbs respect lower limbs?

04 April 2013 1 9K Report

Is there any evidence that telomere length in human skeletal muscles is limb specific?

Not really much. Telomerase is required to protect germ cells mainly.It is more active in cancer and other related illnesses because otherwise cancer cells will shorten and go to senescence.In germ cells it acts to defend progeny.
