Abstract in brief

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors may play a significant role in tobacco dependence by affecting how the brain responds to nicotine.
  • Twelve flavoured e-liquids were tested for their ability to inhibit monoamine oxidase enzymes, revealing varying levels of inhibitory activity among them.
  • The results indicate that some e-liquids contain compounds that could enhance nicotine's effects, suggesting a need for further research into their implications for addiction and smoking cessation.

@jkelovuori @KnowNicotine According to this study some e-liquids also have high monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity. Is it possible that certain e-liquids with the same nicotine content are more dependence-forming than others? https://t.co/hQmlxSDPNT
