From: Telomere length dynamics measured by flow-FISH in patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery
Difference (∆) of the absolute telomere length (TL) of the follow-up population after bariatric surgery (n = 35): (A) Lymphocytes (n = 35) and (B) granulocytes (n = 32) separated in patients with a body mass index (BMI) loss ≥ 10 kg/m2 (shown in squares) or < 10 kg/m2 (shown in circles). Patients with BMI loss ≥ 10 kg/m2 had a significant increase of TL in lymphocytes and granulocytes. Data are displayed as mean (red bar). *Significance of P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test).
