Background: Epidemiologic and experimental studies support an association between PM2.
5 exposure and insulin resistance (IR). Innate immune cell activation has been suggested to …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Animal and epidemiological studies have suggested that exposure to airborne particulate
matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) is associated with the …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Air pollution is a global challenge to public health. Epidemiological
studies have linked exposure to ambient particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters< 2.5 …

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

Background & aims Emerging evidence supports ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5)
exposure is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and hepatic lipid accumulation. In this …

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 …
