Nanoparticle inhalation augments particle-dependent systemic microvascular dysfunction
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We have shown that pulmonary exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) impairs endothelium dependent dilation in systemic arterioles. Ultrafine PM has been suggested to be inherently more toxic by virtue of its increased surface area....
