Effect of prolonged exposure to diesel engine exhaust on proinflammatory markers in different regions of the rat brain.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Exposure to air pollution is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity, although the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Vascular dysfunction reduces arterial compliance and increases central arterial pressure and left ventricular after-load. We determined the effect of diesel exhaust exposure on a...
