Abstract excerpt
Exposure of females to fine particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) prior to pregnancy could produce adverse impact on fertility and enhances susceptibility of the offspring to a variety of diseases. In the current study, female C57BL/6 mice (6 weeks of age) were exposed to either concentrated PM2.5 or filtered air (average PM2.5 concentration: 115.60 ± 7.77 vs. 14.07 ± 0.38 μg/m−3) using a whole-body...
