As cells divide, telomeres become progressively shorter and less functional, causing our cells to age. Activating telomerase in cells can add new DNA to the telomere ends, which may help maintain telomere length and improve aging. Several studies have also confirmed that some natural compounds have the potential to activate telomerase to maintain telomere length and may have synergistic effects. CD BioSciences provides in vitro services for the study of natural compounds modulating telomere length to develop the aging prevention and therapeutic potential of the compounds.
Overview of Our Analysis of the Effects of Natural Compounds on Telomere Length
| Types of natural compounds provided with analysis services |
Service details |
| Resveratrol analysis |
We evaluate the effects of resveratrol, a natural polyphenol found in red grapes and associated with anti-aging properties, on telomere length and telomerase activity. |
| Curcumin assessment |
We analyze the influence of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, on telomere dynamics and cellular senescence. |
| Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) studies |
We investigate the impact of EGCG, a potent antioxidant present in green tea, on telomere length maintenance and its potential role in mitigating cellular aging processes. |
| Omega-3 fatty acid analysis |
We provide comprehensive assessments of the effects of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), on telomere length and cellular aging pathways. |
Workflow for Analysis of the Effects of Natural Compounds on Telomere Length
We provide in vitro studies of telomere length applicable to the effects of various types of natural compounds or their mixtures on telomeres. Our services include compound toxicity assay, cell model customization, sample collection assay, telomere length measurement, and statistical analysis of results.
- Cell culture and natural compound evaluation
We select the optimal cell model system and perform cell culture, natural compound toxicity assay, and cell exposure culture. Cell culture media and components are prepared accordingly.
- Telomere length analysis
We can measure telomere length and analyze the relative change in telomere length of experimental samples versus control samples, with at least two or three replicates per sample and statistically significant data.
