Association between maternal urinary manganese concentrations and newborn telomere length: Results from a birth cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that maternal Mn concentration during the second trimester was positively associated with newborn TL. These results might provide an epidemiology evidence on the protective role of maternal Mn for newborn TL and offer clues for the early prevention of telomere shortening related diseases.PMID:33609998 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112037
