Physical activity, black carbon exposure, and DNA methylation in the FOXP3 promoter

Physical activity, black carbon exposure, and DNA methylation in the FOXP3 promoter

Abstract Background Physical activity is associated with improvement in lung function; however, pollution exposure during physical activity can lead to a transient reduction in lung function. This paradoxical relationship may be linked to altered T regulatory (Treg) cell activity, which increases wi...
