Figure 3

Telomere length in U373 at different time points (1, 3, 5 days) following HIV-1 exposure or NAC treatment. Each data is shown as percentage of T/C (telomere/centromere) ratio. A statistically significant telomere shortening was observed for U373 after HIV-1 exposition at all time points while NAC treatment was able to inhibit this effect. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001 when compared vs control; §P < 0.05 and §§ P < 0.001 when compared vs HIV-1. F: 96.59, 9.01, 8229, respectively at day 1, 3, 5.
