EFFECTS OF POLY-UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS ON LEUKOCYTE TELOMERE LENGTH AND INFLAMMATORY MARKERS IN D-GALACTOSE TREATED WISTAR ALBINO MALE RATS
AbstractThe present study aimed at analyzing the effects of PUFA in D-galactose treated Wistar albino male rats by determining leukocyte telomere length using real-time quantitative PCR, Il-6, and high sensitive C-RP levels estimation using ELISA. D-galactose is administered for 42 days orally (100 mg/kg), and on 43rd-day, blood is collected from tail vein and plasma is separated and subjected for IL-6 and high sensitive C-RP estimation using ELISA and determination of length of leukocyte telomere by real time qPCR. PUFA had no significant influence on length of leukocyte telomere and it decreased significantly IL-6 and high sensitive C-RP levels, indicating possible anti-aging effects by decreasing inflammation associated with aging process.
