From: Acute and subchronic exposure to air particulate matter induces expression of angiotensin and bradykinin-related genes in the lungs and heart: Angiotensin-II type-I receptor as a molecular target of particulate matter exposure

Fig. 2

Particle matter exposure regulates AT1R and ACE protein in a particle size-dependent manner. Animals were exposed to coarse (CP), fine (FP) and ultrafine particulate (UFP), or filtered air (FA). a) and b) The protein levels of Angiotensin Receptor Type-1 (AT1R) and c) and d) Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme (ACE), after acute (3 days, 5 h/day) and subchronic (8 weeks, 5 h/day, 4 days/week) exposure, respectively, are shown as arbitrary units (AU). Scatter dot plot shows the value of the median. * indicates significant differences among groups (n = 4 per group, p < 0.05)
