很有意思,谢谢分享。最近又一篇文章发现1922-1923年Chuvash饥荒后出生的男孩端粒短。
Conclusions: Our study does not provide direct evidence for leukocyte telomere shortening in famine survivors. However, the comparative analysis of LTL in the survivors and their descendants suggests that such an effect did take place. The study also implies that mass famine may be associated with telomere shortening in male descendants of famine survivors. This observation is in agreement with the “thrifty telomere hypothesis” predicting that longer telomeres are disadvantageous in nutritionally marginal environments.
