  • Assessment of salivary cotinine concentration among general non-smokers population: Before and after Spanish smoking legislations
    Lidón-Moyano, Cristina; Fu, Marcela; Pérez Ortuño, Raúl, 1976-; Ballbé, Montse; Sampedro-Vida, Marc; Martín-Sánchez, Juan Carlos; Pascual Esteban, José A.; Fernández, Esteve; Martínez-Sánchez, Jose M. (Elsevier, 2017)
    BACKGROUND: In Spain, two smoke-free laws have been passed (Law 28/2005 and Law 42/2010).This study evaluates the association between Spanish smoking legislations and the second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure in an adult ...
  • Changes in the salivary cotinine cut-offs to discriminate smokers and non-smokers before and after Spanish smoke-free legislation
    Pérez-Martín, Hipólito; Lidón-Moyano, Cristina; González-Marrón, Adrián; Fu, Marcela; Pérez Ortuño, Raúl, 1976-; Ballbé, Montse; Martín-Sánchez, Juan Carlos; Pascual Esteban, José A.; Fernández, Esteve; Martínez-Sánchez, Jose M. (Elsevier, 2022)
    Introduction: high levels of cotinine in non-smokers indicate passive exposure to tobacco smoke. This study aims to evaluate variations in salivary cotinine cut-offs to discriminate smokers and non-smokers before and after ...
  • Determination of soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in saliva samples and its association with nicotine
    Bru, Samuel; González-Marrón, Adrián; Lidón-Moyano, Cristina; Carballar, Reyes; Martínez-Láinez, Joan Marc; Pérez-Martín, Hipólito; Fu, Marcela; Pérez Ortuño, Raúl, 1976-; Ballbé, Montse; Pascual Esteban, José A.; Fernández, Esteve; Clotet Erra, Josep; Martínez-Sánchez, Jose M. (Elsevier, 2023)
    Introduction: the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the main receptor of the SARS-CoV-2. There is contradictory evidence on how the exposure to nicotine may module the concentration of soluble ACE2 (sACE2). The aim ...
  • Environmental and individual exposure to secondhand aerosol of electronic cigarettes in confined spaces: Results from the TackSHS Project
    Amalia, Beladenta; Fu, Marcela; Tigova, Olena; Ballbé, Montse; Castellano, Yolanda; Semple, Sean; Clancy, Luke; Vardavas, Constantine; López, Maria José; Cortés, Nuria; Pérez Ortuño, Raúl, 1976-; Pascual, José A.; Fernández, Esteve (Wiley, 2021)
    Secondhand electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) aerosol (SHA) might impair indoor air quality and expose bystanders. This study aims to investigate exposure to SHA in controlled conditions of enclosed settings simulating ...
