UCLA Health Researchers Identify New Biomarkers Linking Air Pollution to Heart Disease
Medical Xpress1 min read78 words
Researchers at UCLA Health have identified new blood biomarkers, specifically long-chain dicarboxylate acids (DCAs) and medium- to long-chain acyl-carnitines (ACs), in samples from mice and humans exposed to air pollution. These findings offer insight into how air pollution damages cell function and increases the risk of heart disease, with the study focusing on the potential role of mitochondria as a link between the two conditions.
The research results were published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology.
