Figure 3. — Persistent organic pollutant (POP) exposure induces telomere shortening. (A) Telomere length was determined by Southern blot, and the results were calculated by TeloTool and shown with mean telomere restriction fragment (TRF). Representative image of results, lane 1–6 were control individuals, lane 7–13 were exposed individuals. (B) Scatter plot of TRF for control (n = 18) and exposed individuals (n = 26). (C) Histogram displays distribution of relative telomere length as TFU by quantitative-fluorescence in situ hybridization (Q-FISH). (D) Relative telomere length of the exposed (n = 316) and control (n = 136) individuals detected by real-time PCR. Data represent mean ± SEM. *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001.
