Effect of glycerin concentration on levels of toxicants emissions from water-pipe tobacco smoking (WTS)

Tobacco Prevention and Cessation, 2023
Introduction Glycerin, flavorings and sweeteners collectively constitute up to 70% of water-pipe tobacco smoking (WTS) mixtures. The combustion of such ingredients produces smoke particulates that are known toxins and carcinogens including nicotine ...

Histone deacetylase 2 is phosphorylated, ubiquitinated, and degraded by cigarette smoke [PDF]

, 2009
Cigarette smoke (CS)-induced lung inflammation involves the reduction of histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) abundance, which is associated with steroid resistance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in individuals with severe asthma who

Serotonin and corticosterone rhythms in mice exposed to cigarette smoke and in patients with COPD:implication for COPD-associated neuropathogenesis [PDF]

, 2014
The circadian timing system controls daily rhythms of physiology and behavior, and disruption of clock function can trigger stressful life events. Daily exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) can lead to alteration in diverse biological and physiological ...

RelB is differentially regulated by IkappaB Kinase-alpha in B cells and mouse lung by cigarette smoke [PDF]

, 2009
The activation of transcription factor NF-kappaB is controlled by two main pathways: the classical canonical (RelA/p65-p50)- and the alternative noncanonical (RelB/p52)-NF-kappaB pathways.

Differential modulation of lung aquaporins among other pathophysiological markers in acute (Cl2 gas) and chronic (carbon nanoparticles, cigarette smoke) respiratory toxicity mouse models

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Inhaled toxic chemicals and particulates are known to disrupt lung homeostasis causing pulmonary toxicity and tissue injury. However, biomarkers of such exposures and their underlying mechanisms are poorly understood, especially for emerging toxicants ...
