Particulate air pollution is associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. To help identify mechanisms of action and protective/susceptibility factors, we evaluated whether the effect of particulate matter <2.5 mum in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5)) on heart rate variability was modified by dietary intakes of methyl nutrients (folate, vitamins B(6) and B(12), methionine) and related gene polymorphisms (C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR] and C1420T cytoplasmic serine hydroxymethyltransferase [cSHMT]).
