The woman should of its longevity to its telomere

Women are decidedly better off than men regarding their telomeres! At the ends of chromosomes, these small DNA filaments protect non-coding DNA damage that may occur during the cell cycle, avoiding the loss of information génétique.Mais they deteriorate inexorably to each replication.

So these telomeres is suspected to be a key mechanism of aging of our body.

Already, studies have shown that telomeres were longer in males, which could explain the greater life expectancy of the first. But after having analyzed the terminal sequences of the chromosomes of 205 individuals of different age and sex, the team of Peter MÃ ¶ ller, a researcher at the Institute of Pathology, University of Ulm, Germany, showed that telomeres male genes also deteriorate faster than those of women.
