NADPH oxidases regulate endothelial inflammatory injury induced by PM_2.5 via AKT/eNOS/NO axis

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5 )-induced detrimental cardiovascular effects have been widely concerned, especially for endothelial cells, which is the first barrier of the cardiovascular system. Among potential mechanisms involved, reactive oxidative species take up a crucial part. However, source of oxidative stress and its relationship with inflammatory response have been rarely studied in PM2.5 -induced endothelial injury. Here, as a key...
