Hypoxia or tobacco-smoke exposure induce region-specific microvascular remodeling in the brain.

Interestingly, the S-PH model after 3 months of tobacco-smoke-induced lung damage demonstrated a marked decrease in microvascular density in the cortex and hippocampus, with other brain regions showing a similar trend for decreased microvascular density that did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 2 c).
