Abstract :
In order to evaluate the influence of diesel emissions on cardiac function we extracted resting R-R interval and a body activity index derived on a distribution profile of R-R interval. After seven months of exposure in rats revealed that particulate matter in diesel emissions decreases resting R-R interval and activity
