美国加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校的一组研究人员最近发表研究报告指出,含糖饮料不但会导致肥胖和糖尿病,还会诱发其他疾病,因为含糖饮料与细胞老化有关。研究报告显示,在此项研究的调查对象中,大量饮用含糖饮料的人,血液中白细胞染色体端粒较短。端粒是存在于真核细胞线状染色体末端的一种特殊结构,能够维持染色体的完整。由于脱氧核糖核酸每复制一次,端粒就缩短一点,因此端粒长度反映 A recent study by a team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, in the United States, notes that sugary drinks can lead to obesity and diabetes as well as other illnesses, as sugary drinks are associated with cell aging. The study showed that in the study respondents to this study, people who consumed large amounts of sugar-sweetened beverages had shorter leukocyte chromosomes in the blood. Telomeres are a special structure that exists at the end of linear chromosomes of eukaryotes and maintain chromosomal integrity. Because each copy of DNA, telomeres to shorten, so telomere length reflects
