PM2.5 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 tests
