Physiological parameters in air or CAP exposed (9 days) mice and CD- or HFD-fed (8 wk) mice

	9-Day Exposure			8-Wk Feeding
Parameter	Air	CAP	P	CD	HFD	P
BW, g	27.48 ± 0.51	28.60 ± 0.87	0.297	27.08 ± 0.85	38.12 ± 2.07	>0.001
Glucose, mg/dl	187 ± 8	176 ± 11	0.434	82 ± 9	179 ± 7	>0.001
Liver/BW, ×102				2.69 ± 0.28	2.69 ± 0.10	0.983

Data are means ± SE, n = 5. Body weight, organ/body weight ratios, and blood glucose levels of mice either exposed for 9 days to air or CAP or fed for 8 wk with control diet (CD, 10 % kcal fat) or high fat diet (HFD, 60% kcal fat). CAP, concentrated ambient fine particulate matter; CD, control diet; HFD, high-fat diet; BW, body weight.
