From: Effect of Age, High-Fat Diet, and Rat Strain on Serum Biomarkers and Telomere Length and Global DNA Methylation in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Figure 4

Age effect on telomere length of PBMCs isolated at 4, 12, and 24 wk after maintenance on a regular diet for (A) SD, (B) F344, and (C) BN rat strains. Values are means ± standard error (n = 8); *Significantly different from 4 wk group; #Significantly different from 4 and 24 wk groups (p < 0.05). The relative telomere length was measured by comparing the ratio of telomere repeat copy number (T) and single gene copy number (S) expressed as telomere length (T/S) ratio.
