Is air pollution a potential cause of neuronal injury?

CONCLUSION: Gluconeogenesis was induced in human neural cells exposed to fine particles (DEP), in association with cell damage and oxidative stress. These findings suggest that the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular injury due to fine particle pollutant exposure may proceed through derangements in gluconeogenic metabolism.
