Hippocampal TET1 and TET2 Expression and DNA Hydroxymethylation Are Affected by Physical Exercise in Aged Mice

The function of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is poorly understood. 5hmC is an epigenetic modification of DNA, resulting from the oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by the Fe2+, and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent, 10–11 translocation methylcytosine dioxygenases (TET1, TET2, and TET3). Recent evidence su...
