Generation of oxidatively damaged DNA by particulate matter (PM) is hypothesized to occur
via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. We investigated this …

Particulates are small particles of solid or liquid suspended in liquid or air. In vitro studies
show that particles generate reactive oxygen species, deplete endogenous antioxidants …

Aims: The pathophysiological role of iron in Parkinson's disease (PD) was assessed by a
chelation strategy aimed at reducing oxidative damage associated with regional iron …

While studies on ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) exposure effect on child health are
available, the differential effects, if any, of exposure to PM2. 5 species are unexplored in …

We assessed the interactions among the particulate matter (PM) components in generating
the reactive oxygen species (ROS) based on a dithiothreitol (DTT) assay. We started with the …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common airway disorder. In particular,
acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) can significantly reduce pulmonary function. The …

After particulate matter (PM) collection in Cotonou (Benin), a complete physicochemical
characterization of PM 2.5 and PM> 2.5 was led. Then, their adverse health effects were …

India has one of the highest (53%) global prevalences of anaemia among women of
reproductive age (WRA, 15–49 years). Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate …

In order to clarify whether the mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to the cell
homeostasis maintenance after particulate matter (PM 2.5) exposure, oxidative …

The objective of this study was to compare the toxicological effects of different source-related
ambient PM10 samples in regard to their chemical composition. In this context we …
