Fig. 7From: Ambient fine particulate matter exposure induces reversible cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis in juvenile and older female micePM2.5 reversibly increases MDA levels in lungs and hearts of mice. MDA levels in different age mice (a, b), 10-month-old mice withdrawal of PM2.5 exposure (c, d) and 4-week-old mice withdrawal of PM2.5 exposure (e, f) were detected. Mean MDA levels in each treated groups was shown as a fold change compared to the mean value in each control group, which had been ascribed an arbitrary value of 1. Each column and bar represents the mean ± SE (n = 6~ 9). *, P < 0.05 vs. age-matched control by two-way ANOVA and Turkey’s post hoc tests; #, P < 0.05 vs. 4-month-exposure; d, P < 0.05 vs. 4-week-exposure; e, P < 0.05 vs. 1-week-restored group by two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s post hoc testsBack to article page
