Enhanced Cerebral Microbleeds by Long-Term Air Pollution Exposure in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

CONCLUSION: In the SHR model, long-term exposure to PM2.5 worsened CMBs, increased SBPs, induced systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, PM2.5 is potentially a controllable risk factor that promotes CMBs in certain patients, such as those with hypertension.PMID:34461819 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1968705
