Dyslipidemia and Chronic Inflammation Markers Are Correlated with Telomere Length Shortening in Cushing’s Syndrome
2015
Introduction
Cushing’s syndrome (CS) increases cardiovascular risk (CVR) and adipocytokine imbalance, associated with an increased inflammatory state. Telomere length (TL) shortening is a novel CVR marker, associated with inflammation biomarkers. We hypothesized that inflammatory state and higher CVR in CS might be related to TL shortening, as observed in premature aging.
