Simulated vehicle exhaust exposure (SVEE) in rats impairs renal mitochondrial function.

Conclusion: Significant decline in mitochondrial respiration and oxygen consumption was observed, in addition to low ATP, reduced ATP synthase and cytochrome C oxidase levels, as well as accelerated mitochondrial fission, and reduced fusion processes, were observed in SVEE than CON rats, all indicative of renal mitochondrial impairment.
