Purpose Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) can induce and trigger airway
hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies show that sudden surges in ambient particulate
matter (PM) levels can trigger acute asthma exacerbations. Although diesel exhaust …

Abstract Background Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are deposited into the respiratory tract
and are thought to be a risk factor for the development of diseases of the respiratory system …

Although several studies have reported that diesel exhaust particles (DEP) affect
cardiorespiratory health in animals and humans, the effect of DEP on animal models with …

Diesel exhaust is the major source of ultrafine particles released during traffic-related
pollution. Subjects with chronic respiratory diseases are at greater risk for exacerbations …

Low-dose diesel exhaust particle (DEP) exposure induces airway inflammation and
exaggerates asthmatic responses in mice, but it is unclear whether strains differ in their …

Background Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) can enhance various respiratory diseases.
However, it is unclear as to which components in DEP are associated with the …

Although it has been shown that exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) is linked to the induction or
exacerbation of respiratory disorders, the major components responsible have not been fully …

The authors used BALB/c and C57BL/6 mouse strains to search for genetically based
differences in response to prolonged (6 months) low-dose (100 μg/m3) diesel exhaust …

Animal studies have reported that diesel exhaust particles (DEP), which constitute an
important fraction of particulate air pollution, lead to inflammation and/or damage of the …
