Leukocyte telomere length and hemostatic factors in a South African cohort: the SABPA study
Von Känel, R.; Malan, N.T.; Hamer, M.; Van der Westhuizen, F.H.; Malan, L. (Wiley, 2014)Background Incident atherothrombotic disease is predicted by leukocyte telomere length, a marker of biological age, and hemostatic factor levels, indicating a hypercoagulable state. We hypothesized that shorter telomeres ... -
Metabolic and glutathione redox markers associated with brain-derived neurotrophic factor in depressed African men and women: evidence for counterregulation?
