This is Scientific American 60-Second Science. I'm Steve Mirsky. Got a minute?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Telomeres are parts of chromosomes that protect the ends of the chromosomes.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

They're often likened to the aglets at the ends of shoelaces.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And like aglets eventually crack, telomeres tend to get shorter over time, with each division of the cell.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But they can be topped off again by an enzyme called telomerase reverse transcriptase.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Various age-related diseases are associated with shortened telomeres.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Elizabeth Blackburn won a Nobel Prize for her discoveries about telomeres and the telomerase enzyme.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

She recently did a Google Hangout with Scientific American editor-in-chief Mariette DiChristina, which included taking questions from attendees via social media:

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"Can telomeres actually grow longer in response to exercise?"

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"Well, we don't know if telomeres actually grow with exercise.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But what is known, I'll give you a great example of a study. We didn't do it.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Twins.So they looked at twins.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

This is a big study.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And they said, of the twins who've actually done exercise, the one who did exercise and the one who didn't,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

so you'd be able to find a lot of twins it turns out, in that situation.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And they said, who's got the longer telomeres.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And it was the twin who did some exercise.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The one who didn't had shorter telomeres.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And yet their genes are the same.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So you see, that tells you something quite nice.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"And of course, well, you say, was it really the exercise, or was it something else that was different between the twins.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And that's where epidemiology studies have to be done so carefully.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But over and over again, we keep finding that same result, that the exercise is associated with a person who will have less telomere shortening.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

And so it looks like now it really is the exercise that's somehow keeping the shortening process from being too fast."

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The entire 27-minute Google Hangout with Mariette DiChristina and Nobel Laureate Elizabeth Blackburn is on our website.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Just google Hangout and Elizabeth Blackburn.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American 60-Second Science. I'm Steve Mirsky.
