Does maternal nicotine exposure during gestation and lactation change the oxidant-antioxidant status of the lungs of the offsprings and is tomato juice protecting the lungs of the offsprings?
Abdulkarim, Kayigire Xavier (University of the Western Cape, 2009)Nicotine exposure to the fetus through tobacco smoking or nicotine replacement therapy during the whole period of gestation and lactation causes diverse effects on fetal and neonatal lung development, integrity and maturation ... -
The effect of maternal nicotine exposure on cell proliferation on the lungs of the offspring
Mothibeli, Keitumetse (2013)Tobacco consumption and exposure to tobacco smoke is one of the biggest contributing factors to a growing epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), primarily cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases ... -
The effect of maternal nicotine exposure on cellular senescence in the lungs of the offspring
Salie, Yusrah (University of the Western Cape, 2012)Several studies conducted in laboratories at the University of the Western Cape has demonstrated an interference with the parenchymal lung tissue of the offspring when exposed to nicotine (smoking cigarettes and/or Nicotine ... -
