OHSU research shows vitamin C counteracts some negative impacts of smoking on unborn babies

... deaths. Maternal smoking can also cause decreased pulmonary function and increased respiratory illness in offspring. Previous research by the Spindel lab demonstrated that nicotine is a key cause of these lung development problems. Specifically, nicotine crosses the placenta where it interacts with cells in t...

Further in the future the physiologists hope that identifying these genes and underlying processes could provide insight into human attitudes toward exercise and lead to therapies to improve oxygen delivery in patients with muscular...
