Air pollution and circulating biomarkers of oxidative stress

Air Pollution, Oxidative Stress, and Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia affecting millions of people worldwide and will continue to affect millions more with population aging on the rise. AD causality is multifactorial. Known causal factors include genetic predisposition, age, and sex. Environmental toxins such as air pollution (AP) have also been implicated in AD causation. Exposure to AP can lead to chr...

Oxidative Stress and Air Pollution Exposure

Air pollution is associated with increased cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms of air pollution-induced health effects involve oxidative stress and inflammation. As a matter of fact, particulate matter (PM), especially fine (PM(2.5), PM < 2.5 μm) and ultrafine (PM(0.1), PM < 0.1 μm) particles, ozone, nitrogen oxides, and transition metals, are potent oxidants or...

Short‐Term Exposure to Air Pollution and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress: The Framingham Heart Study

BACKGROUND Short-term exposure to elevated air pollution has been associated with higher risk of acute cardiovascular diseases, with systemic oxidative stress induced by air pollution hypothesized as an important underlying mechanism. However, few community-based studies have assessed this association. METHODS AND RESULTS Two thousand thirty-five Framingham Offspring Cohort participants livin...

Association between the circulating leptin levels and the biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation among Iranian overweight and obese adults

Background: Oxidative stress in obese people is an important pathogenic mechanism of an obesity-associated metabolic syndrome. We evaluated the association between circulating leptin levels with biomarkers of oxidative stress in overweight and obese participants. &nbsp;&nbsp; Methods: This study was performed on 189 overweight and obese people aged 18-60 years old. Serum leptin, superoxide dis...
