Registration Number
NCT02740595

University of California, Los Angeles
Brief Summary

Randomized controlled trial of electronic cigarettes with nicotine, without nicotine, and sham control, on endothelial function and markers of oxidative stress.

Detailed Description

Participants will use an electronic cigarette on 3 occasions: 1) with nicotine, 2) without nicotine, 3) sham control, and undergo a measure of endothelial function called brachial artery flow mediated dilatation (FMD). Additionally, oxidative stress will be measured pre and post exposure.
