Saenen N, Provost E, Cuypers A, Kicinski M, Pieters N, Plusquin M, et al.
Environ Int
. 2018 Nov;
123:39-49.
PMID: 30496980
Background: Studies investigating short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and heart rate variability (HRV) suggest that particulate matter (PM) exposure is associated with reductions in measures of HRV. Mitochondria are...

Pieters N, Janssen B, Dewitte H, Cox B, Cuypers A, Lefebvre W, et al.
Environ Health Perspect
. 2015 Dec;
124(7):943-50.
PMID: 26672058
Background: Telomere length and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content are markers of aging and aging-related diseases. There is inconclusive evidence concerning the mechanistic effects of airborne particulate matter (PM) exposure on...

De Vusser K, Pieters N, Janssen B, Lerut E, Kuypers D, Jochmans I, et al.
Aging (Albany NY)
. 2015 Nov;
7(10):766-75.
PMID: 26539975
Background: Replicative senescence, associated with telomere shortening, plays an important role in aging and cardiovascular disease. The relation between telomere length, cardiovascular risk, and renal disease is unknown. Methods: Our...

Clemente D, Casas M, Vilahur N, Begiristain H, Bustamante M, Carsin A, et al.
Environ Health Perspect
. 2015 Aug;
124(5):659-65.
PMID: 26317635
Background: Mitochondria are sensitive to environmental toxicants due to their lack of repair capacity. Changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content may represent a biologically relevant intermediate outcome in mechanisms linking...

Pieters N, Koppen G, Poppel M, De Prins S, Cox B, Dons E, et al.
Environ Health Perspect
. 2015 Mar;
123(7):737-42.
PMID: 25756964
Background: Ultrafine particles (UFP) may contribute to the cardiovascular effects of particulate air pollution, partly because of their relatively efficient alveolar deposition. Objective: In this study, we assessed associations between...

Mech Ageing Dev
. 2015 Mar;
145:51-7.
PMID: 25736869
Experimental evidence shows that telomere shortening induces mitochondrial damage but so far studies in humans are scarce. Here, we investigated the association between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and mitochondrial DNA...

BMC Public Health
. 2013 Dec;
13:1226.
PMID: 24365236
Background: Exhaled breath temperature has been suggested as a new method to detect and monitor pathological processes in the respiratory system. The putative mechanism of this approach is based upon...

Part Fibre Toxicol
. 2013 Jun;
10:22.
PMID: 23742113
Background: There is evidence that altered DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism in prenatal programming and that developmental periods are sensitive to environmental stressors. We hypothesized that exposure to...

PLoS One
. 2013 May;
8(5):e63208.
PMID: 23658810
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants that are formed in combustion processes. At the cellular level, exposure to PAHs causes oxidative stress and/or some of it congeners bind...

Heart
. 2012 May;
98(15):1127-35.
PMID: 22628541
Objective: Studies on the association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and heart rate variability (HRV) suggest that particulate matter (PM) exposure is associated with reductions in measures of...
