The Effect of a Retrofit Particle Trap on the Vascular Effects of Diesel Exhaust Inhalation

Heart Disease Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of a Retrofit Particle Trap on the Vascular Effects of Diesel Exhaust Inhalation

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a retrofit particle trap can reduce the adverse vascular responses to diesel exhaust inhalation

Clinical Trial Description

18 subjects healthy male volunteers will be recruited at Umeå University. In a randomised, double blind 3 way crossover trial, subjects will be exposed to filtered air, diesel exhaust (300mcg/m3) or filtered diesel exhaust for 1 hour during intermittent exercise.

2 hours following the exposure, thrombogenicity will be assessed using the Badimon chamber - an ex-vivo model of thrombosis formed under constant flow conditions.

Forearm blood flow in response to infused intra-brachial vasodilators will be measured using venous occlusion plethysmography 6 hours after the exposure.

Arterial stiffness will be measured using peripheral arterial applanation tonometry in the hour post-exposure.

Blood samples will be collected at timepoints over the 24 hours after exposure. ;
