Background: Epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to ambient air fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and …

Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) air pollution exposure increases the risk of developing
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although the precise mechanisms by which air pollution …

We have previously shown that chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (less
than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter, PM2. 5) pollution in conjunction with high-fat diet …

Epidemiological studies suggest that fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) may increase the risk
for developing diabetes mellitus (DM). To evaluate possible mechanisms explaining these …

Background—There is a strong link between urbanization and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Although a multitude of mechanisms have been proposed, there are no studies evaluating …

Objectives Studies have shown that chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (less
than 2.5 µ m in aerodynamic diameter, PM2. 5) pollution induces insulin resistance through …

Background Prior experimental and epidemiologic data support a link between exposure to
fine ambient particulate matter (< 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter, PM 2.5) and …

Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components, each of which has
detrimental effects on human health. While the composition of air pollution varies greatly …

Recent epidemiological studies have suggested a link between exposure to ambient air-
pollution and susceptibility to metabolic disorders such as Type II diabetes mellitus …

There is increasing evidence suggesting links between exposure to environmental toxins
and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). In this review, we summarize the …
