Black Carbon Exposure, Oxidative Stress Genes, and Blood Pressure in a Repeated-Measures Study

Mordukhovich, Irina; Wilker, Elissa; Suh, Helen; Wright, Robert; Sparrow, David; Vokonas, Pantel S.; Schwartz, Joel (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009-11)

BACKGROUND. Particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and elevated blood pressure (BP) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A small number of studies ...
Black Carbon Exposures, Blood Pressure, and Interactions with Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in MicroRNA Processing Genes

Wilker, Elissa H.; Baccarelli, Andrea; Suh, Helen; Vokonas, Pantel; Wright, Robert O.; Schwartz, Joel (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2010-07)

BACKGROUND. Black carbon (BC) is a marker of traffic pollution that has been associated with blood pressure (BP), but findings have been inconsistent. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of gene expression, ...
