Cardiovascular Remodeling in Response to Long-Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter Air Pollution

Air pollution is a pervasive environmental health hazard that occurs over a lifetime of exposure in individuals from many industrialized societies. However, studies have focused primarily on exposure durations that correspond to only a portion of the lifespan. We therefore tested the hypothesis that exposure over a considerable portion of the lifespan would induce maladaptive cardiovascular responses.C57BL/6 male mice were exposed to...
