In utero exposure to air pollution lowers erythrocyte antioxidant defense and decreases weight in adult mice
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
In this study, we tested the influence of ambient air pollution on different phases of development of adult mice. With respect to adult weight, the animals that had spent their in utero period exposed to pollution showed ...
