- Animal Study
- Standard toxicological endpoints were complemented with systems toxicological analyses using transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics of lung tissue, liver tissue, and serum. Both standard and systems toxicology endpoints demonstrated very limited biological effects of PG/VG aerosol with no signs of toxicity Systems toxicology analyses detected biological effects of nicotine exposure, which included up-regulation of the xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes Cyp1a1 and Fmo3 in the lung and metabolic effects, likely interlinked with a generalized stress response to nicotine present in the exposure aerosols
