Abstract
Evidence around the relationship between air pollution and the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) remains limited and inconsistent. To investigate the potential mediation effect of asprosin on the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5), tropospheric ozone (O3) and blood glucose homeostasis. A case-control study was conducted on a total of 320 individuals aged over 60 years, including both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals, from six communities in Taiyuan, China, from July to September 2021. Generalized linear models (GLMs) suggested that short-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), as well as reduced pancreatic β-cell function index (HOMA-β), and short-term exposure to O3 was associated with increased FBG and decreased HOMA-β in the total population and elderly diabetic patients. Mediation analysis showed that asprosin played a mediating role in the relationship of PM2.5 and O3 with FBG, with mediating ratios of 10.2% and 18.4%, respectively. Our study provides emerging evidence supporting that asprosin mediates the short-term effects of exposure to PM2.5 and O3 on elevated FBG levels in an elderly population. Additionally, the elderly who are diabetic, over 70 years, and BMI over 24 kg/m2 are more vulnerable to air pollutants and need additional protection to reduce their exposure to air pollution.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) poisoning can happen in the case of environmental pollution and occupational exposure. However, the underlying mechanisms of Mn-induced teste toxicity and whether mitochondrion and heat shock proteins (HSPs) are involved in toxic effect of Mn on chicken testes remain poorly understood. To investigate this, MnCl2·4H2O was administered in the diet (600, 900, and 1800 mg/kg Mn) of chickens for 30, 60, and 90 days. Electron microscopy and qPCR were performed. Results showed that Mn exposure suppressed dose- and time-dependently HSP40 and HSP60 mRNA levels, meanwhile increased does-dependently HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90 mRNA levels at all three time points under three Mn exposure concentrations. Furthermore, Mn treatment damaged myoid cells, spermatocytes, and Sertoli cells through electron microscopic observation, indicating that Mn treatment damaged chicken testes. In addition, abnormal shapes of mitochondria were found, and mitochondria displayed extensive vacuolation. The increase of HSP90 and HSP70 induced by Mn exposure inhibited HSP40 and stimulated HSP27, respectively, in chicken testes, which needs further to be explored. Taken together, our study suggested that there was toxic effect in excess Mn on chickens, and HSPs and mitochondria were involved in the mechanism of dose-dependent injury caused by Mn in chicken testes. This study provided new insights for Mn toxicity identification in animal husbandry production practice.
