Epidemiological studies have shown that air pollutants, such as diesel exhaust particle
(DEP), are implicated in the increased incidence of allergic airway disorders. In vitro studies …

BACKGROUND: Diesel emission particulates (DEP) exert effects on the immune system and
act as an adjuvant which enhances allergic inflammation. Animal and human models have …

Host responses to DEPs are regulated by a balance between antioxidants and
proinflammatory responses. DEP-induced oxidants play a key role in proinflammatory …

In recent decades, clinicians and scientists have witnessed a significant increase in the
prevalence of allergic rhinitis and asthma. The factors underlying this phenomenon are …

Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) is an environmental and occupational health
concern. This review examines the cellular actions of the organic and the particulate …

Exposure to air pollutants has been correlated with an increase in the severity of asthma and
in the exacerbation of pre-existing asthma. However, whether or not environmental pollution …

Exposure to airborne particulate pollutants such as diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) has
been associated with allergic respiratory disorders, including asthma and allergic rhinitis. In …

We have recently reported that airway inflammatory responses to the oxidative stress
induced by prolonged low-dose diesel exhaust particle (DEP) exposure differ markedly …

To test our hypothesis that diesel exhaust particle (DEP)-induced oxidative stress and host
antioxidant responses play a key role in the development of DEP-induced airway …
