ABSTRACT
Telomeres are specialized DNAprotein complexes found at the tips of linear chromosomes. In this study, we investigated the effects of oxidative stress on telomeric length distribution of proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells following balloon injury in single or combined treatment of rabbits with either buthionine sulfoximine or taurine. Exposure to oxidative stress increased the balloon injury whereas taurine treatment significantly diminished l-buthionine-sulfoximine-related intimal hyperplasia. Our results also showed that both variables had a significant influence on mean telomeric length distribution (AU)
