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. 6

Acute and subchronic exposures to fine and ultrafine PM up-regulate heart AT1R mRNA. The animals were acutely (5 h/day, 3 days) or subchronically (5 h/day, 4 days/week, 8 weeks) exposed to coarse (CP), fine (FP) and ultrafine particulate (UFP) or to filtered air (FA). Semi-quantitative levels of Angiotensin Receptor type-1 (At1r) mRNA after a) acute and b) subchronic exposures in the heart. Scatter dot plot shows the value of the median. * indicates significant differences among groups (n = 4 per group, p < 0.05)
