It is known that glucose disturbances contribute to vascular ageing. The length of telomere (TL) and telomerase activity (TA) are considered as biomarkers of cellular ageing. It is crucial to determine the role of telomere biology in different vessels changes in diabetic patients. The aim of our study was to determine the role of telomere biology in vascular ageing in patients with T2DM.Results: All patients were divided into two groups by the median of ...
