Acrolein Inhalation Alters Myocardial Synchrony and Performance at and Below Exposure Concentration that Cause Ventilatory Responses in Mice
we examined the cardiovascular effects acrolein inhalation, particularly on myocardial synchrony and performance via ultrasound echocardiography. Male C57Bl/6J mice (n=6/group) were exposed to filtered air (FA), 0.3 ppm acrolein, or 3.0 ppm acrolein for 3 hours in whole body plethysmography chambers. Cardiac strain …
