Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with adverse effects on offspring health through impaired placental structure and function. Nicotine and other tobacco-related compounds readily cross the placental barrier, disrupt metabolic pathways, and increase the risk of long-term developmental disorders in newborn. Here, placental metabolic alterations associated with maternal smoking exposure were examined with metabolomics. We used placental samples from the Kuopio Birth Cohort study from ...
