Abstract

Background and Aims : The exposure to air pollution is associated with an increase of cardiovascular risk. Interestingly, obese subjects seem to be particularly susceptible to air pollution. Air pollutants trigger an inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress; thus, the exposure to particulate matter (PM) may lead to HDL dysfunction as observed in other inflammatory conditions. Aim of the study was to investigate whether exposure to air pollutants affects HDL functionality.
