Background: Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is associated with
cardiovascular mortality, but underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms are not fully …

Epidemiological studies have found that individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) display an
increased susceptibility for adverse cardiovascular outcomes when exposed to air pollution …

Previous studies supported a role of hypothalamic inflammation in fine ambient particulate
matter (PM2. 5) exposure-mediated diabetes development. We therefore investigated the …

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 …

Exposure to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is an emerging risk factor for the
pathogenesis of several diseases in humans, including cerebrovascular diseases. However …

Background Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is associated with
increased cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. This is widely believed to be attributable …

Background Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is associated with various
adverse health outcomes. Although several mechanisms have been proposed including …

Epidemiological and clinical studies have increasingly shown that fine particulate matter
(PM2. 5) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which share the common …

Rationale: Chronic exposure to ambient air-borne particulate matter of< 2.5 μm (PM2. 5)
increases cardiovascular risk. The mechanisms by which inhaled ambient particles are …

Background and aims Plenty of literature has documented that fine particulate matter (PM
2.5) exposure is related to blood pressure (BP) elevation. Vascular dysfunction is the …
