benzo(a)pyrene and Arteriosclerosis

benzo(a)pyrene has been researched along with Arteriosclerosis in 19 studies

Benzo(a)pyrene: A potent mutagen and carcinogen. It is a public health concern because of its possible effects on industrial workers, as an environmental pollutant, an as a component of tobacco smoke.
benzo[a]pyrene : An ortho- and peri-fused polycyclic arene consisting of five fused benzene rings.

Arteriosclerosis: Thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES of all sizes. There are many forms classified by the types of lesions and arteries involved, such as ATHEROSCLEROSIS with fatty lesions in the ARTERIAL INTIMA of medium and large muscular arteries.
