Maternal Engineered Nanomaterial Exposure Disrupts Progeny Cardiac Function and Bioenergetics
2017
Cardiac function is evaluated, for the first time, in progeny following maternal nanomaterial inhalation. The findings indicate that exposure to nano-sized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) during gestation negatively impacts cardiac function and mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics. We conclude that maternal nano-TiO2 inhalation contributes to adverse cardiovascular health effects, lasting into adulthood.
