4. Air pollution and cardiac remodeling: a role for RhoA/Rho-kinase
Exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with increases in blood pressure. We have previously demonstrated activation of the Rho/Rho kinase pathway in experimental hypertension in rats. In this investigation, we evaluated the effects of particulate matter of <2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure on cardiovascular responses and remodeling and tested the effe
