This $619,477 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to investigate the impact of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) exposure, both direct and in-utero, on vascular function and cognitive decline. The research, conducted by the West Virginia University Research Corporation, aims to establish the dose-dependent effects of e-cigarette exposure on vascular dysfunction and the role of the enzyme xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) as a key mediator. The project will leverage animal models to determine the long-term vascular, neurobiological, and behavioral consequences of in-utero e-cigarette exposure, as well as explore the potential of manipulating the XOR pathway to delay the progression of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). The findings from this research are intended to enhance the understanding of the basic mechanisms by which e-cigarette use affects health outcomes.
