Abstract:Air pollution poses a significant global health risk, with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) such as diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) being of particular concern due to their potential to drive systemic toxicities through bloodstream infiltration. The association between PM2.5 exposure and an increased prevalence of metabolic disorders, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is evident against a backdrop of rising global obesity and poor metabolic health. This paper examines t… Show more
The adipose organ is well recognized for its role in energy storage and mobilization, responding to nutrient availability, the body’s needs, and thermogenesis, thereby regulating the organism’s energy balance [...]
