Vanadium inhalation in a mouse model for the understanding of air-suspended particle systemic repercussion

Abstract

There is an increased concern about the health effects that air-suspended particles have on human health which have been dissected in animal models. Using CD-1 mouse, we explore the effects that vanadium inhalation produce in different tissues and organs. Our findings support the systemic effects of air pollution. In this paper, we describe our findings in different organs in our conditions and contrast our results with the literature. Copyright © 2011 T. I. Fortoul et al.
