The negative impact of electronic cigarettes on brain health

For the study, biologists exposed lab mice to JUUL e-cigarette vaporizers three times a day, using some of the most popular flavors: mint and mango. The researchers then looked at signs of inflammation throughout the body. It turned out that the strongest changes occurred in the brain: several markers responsible for inflammation were increased there. However, the expression of inflammatory factors was seen in the colon. In the heart, scientists tracked a decrease in the level of inflammatory markers. The state of immunosuppression of the heart can make heart tissue more vulnerable to infection. In the lungs, biologists found no signs of tissue inflammation, but numerous changes in gene expression were observed in the samples.
