Leukocyte telomere length in major depression: correlations with chronicity, inflammation and oxidative stress--preliminary findings

Depression is associated with an unusually high rate of aging-related illnesses and early mortality. One aspect of "accelerated aging" in depression may be shortened leukocyte telomeres. When telomeres critically shorten, as often occurs with repeated mitoses or in response to oxidation an...
