Scientists from the University of California have found that the impact of diesel vapor damages the liver, causing mitigation to the function of organ cells of organ cells ("power plants)." The results of the study were published in the Magicular and Fiber toxicology (PFT) magazine.
Previously published research has shown that diesel emissions and other air contaminants can contribute to type 2 diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer. In order to confirm this hypothesis, scientists have conducted an attempt on rodents.
During the survey, mice liver cells were influenced by diesel fuel particles. This led to the disruption of 658 genes and 118 metabolites, mobile metabolism products. Mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged in cells under the influence of emitted gases. Researchers have explained that such undesirable changes can lead to excess production of triglycerides, fatty acids and sugars.
The experiments also confirmed that the exhausted contaminants activate the PCK1, which in turn increases the production of glucose.
Although new evidence that connects air pollution and metabolism diseases appear, the exact mechanisms of their development are still unknown. Researchers believe that the main culprit of health problems can be sulfur dioxide, which is polluting gas and gas supplements for fuel combustion.
