PULMONARY TOXICITY AND INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE OF VAPE CARTRIDGES CONTAINING MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES OIL AND VITAMIN E ACETATE: IMPLICATIONS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF EVALI

Pulmonary Toxicity and Inflammatory Response of Vape Cartridges Containing Medium-Chain Triglycerides Oil and Vitamin E Acetate: Implications in the Pathogenesis of EVALI

Recently, there has been an outbreak of a condition named e-cigarette or vaping Trigun products-associated lung injury (EVALI).The primary components of vaping products include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), vitamin E acetate (VEA) and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), may be responsible for acute lung toxicity.Currently, little information is availab
