Telomere- and oxidative stress dynamics in Psittacidae species with different longevity trajectories
Dominguez-de-Barros A, Sifaoui I, Dorta-Guerra R, Lorenzo-Morales J, Castro-Fuentes R, Cordoba-Lanus E
Geroscience
. 2024 Oct;
47(1):121-134.
PMID: 39448517
Telomeres, conserved DNA sequences at chromosome ends, naturally shorten with age, exacerbated by external factors like environmental challenges and reproduction. Birds, particularly psittacine, are gaining prominence as new aging models...

PMID: 39170634
Aging is a complex process influenced by internal and external factors. Oxidative stress damages DNA, leading to 8-hydroxy-2' deoxyguanosine formation (8-OHdG). Telomere shortening is considered a biomarker of aging and...

PMID: 37021005
Aging is a multifactorial process that includes molecular changes such as telomere shortening. Telomeres shorten progressively with age in vertebrates, and their shortening rate has a significant role in determining...
