Epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to air pollution particles is associated with cardiovascular diseases, whereas the role in the initiation of atherosclerosis is unresolved. Atherosclerosis is considered to be an inflammatory disease that also involves oxidative stress. Here we investigated effects of oxidative stress elicited by diesel exhaust particles (DEP) in the aorta, liver, and...
Recent research suggests that high-altitude hypoxia may serve as a model for prolonged oxidative stress in healthy humans. In this study, we investigated the consequences of prolonged high-altitude hypoxia on the basal level of oxidative damage to nuclear DNA in muscle cells, a major oxygen-consuming tissue. Muscle biopsies from seven healthy humans were obtained at sea level and after 2 and 8 weeks...
