Pulmonary and Vascular Effects of Acute Ozone Exposure in Diabetic Rats Fed an Atherogenic Diet

Description

In this study, we investigated effects of inhaled ozone exposure and high-cholesterol diet (HCD) in healthy Wistar and Wistar-derived Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a non-obese model of type 2 diabetes. Male rats (4-week old) were fed normal diet or HCD for 12 weeks and then exposed to filtered air or 1.0 ppm ozone (6hrs/day) for 1 or 2 days. We examined pulmonary, vascular, hematology, and inflammatory responses after each exposure plus an 18-hr recovery period. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Snow, S., A. Henriquez, L. Thompson, C. Fisher, M.C. Schladweiler, C. Wood, and U. Kodavanti. Pulmonary and Vascular Effects of Acute Ozone Exposure in Diabetic Rats Fed an Atherogenic Diet.
