THE EFFECT OF AN ENDURANCE SWIMMING SESSION ON CLARA CELL PROTEIN AND CRP CONCENTRATIONS IN ELITE AND RECREATIONAL ENDURANCE MALE SWIMMERS
Background & Aims: The presence of epithelial cells in the blood is a symptom of cellular damage. Clara's cell proteins are the epithelial cells of the lungs and the respiratory tract, also, the existence of cytokines such as reactive protein C is a sign of inflammation. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of one session of endurance swimming activity on the serum con...
متن کاملGSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 Polymorphisms and Associations between Air Pollutants and Markers of Insulin Resistance in Elderly Koreans
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that diabetes mellitus (DM) is an outcome of exposure to air pollution, and metabolic detoxification genes affect air pollution-related outcomes. OBJECTIVES We evaluated associations between air pollutants and markers of insulin resistance (IR), an underlying mechanism of type 2 DM, and effect modification by GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genotypes among e...
متن کاملAcute Cardiorespiratory Health Effec Ts of Size-segregated Ambient Particulate Air Pollution and Ozone
Ambient air pollutants are one of the most harmful environmental stressors to human health. During the last decades, different ambient particulate and gaseous pollutants have been studied, and in numerous studies fine particles (< 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter, PM2.5) and larger, inhalable particles (< 10 μm, PM10) have been associated with excess morbidity and mortality. Particle size and com...
متن کاملAssociation between exposure to ambient air pollution and renal function in Korean adults
Background Ambient air pollution has a negative effect on many diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Recent studies have reported a relationship between air pollution and renal function, but the results were limited to exposure to particulate matter (PM). This study was to identify associations between various air pollutants and renal function among Korean adults. Methods...
متن کاملIndoor and Outdoor Exposure to Ultrafine, Fine and Microbiologically Derived Particulate Matter Related to Cardiovascular and Respiratory Effects in a Panel of Elderly Urban Citizens
To explore associations of exposure to ambient and indoor air particulate and bio-aerosol pollutants with cardiovascular and respiratory disease markers, we utilized seven repeated measurements from 48 elderly subjects participating in a 4-week home air filtration study. Microvascular function (MVF), lung function, blood leukocyte counts, monocyte adhesion molecule expression, C-reactive protei...
