Journal ArticleDOI
Hair Concentrations of Nicotine and Cotinine in Women and Their Newborn Infants
Chrisoula Eliopoulos,Julia A. Klein,My Khanh Phan,Brenda Knie,Mark J. Greenwald,David Chitayat,Gideon Koren +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first biochemical evidence that infants of passive smokers are at risk of measurable exposure to cigarette smoke, and may be well correlated with perinatal risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of insulin lispro across the human placenta: in vitro perfusion studies.
TL;DR: It is suggested that insulin lispro is unlikely to reach or harm the unborn baby after being introduced into the maternal reservoir at concentrations ranging from 100 to 1000 micro U/ml.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transplacental transfer and biotransformation studies of nicotine in the human placental cotyledon perfused in vitro.
Aleksandra Pastrakuljic,Robert Schwartz,Carmine Simone,L.O. Derewlany,Brenda Knie,Gideon Koren +5 more
TL;DR: The observation that nicotine readily crosses the human placenta with no evidence of metabolism suggests that nicotine has the potential to cause adverse affects on the developing fetus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placental Handling of Fatty Acid Ethyl Esters: Perfusion and Subcellular Studies
TL;DR: FAEE detected in neonatal matrices are likely produced by the fetus from ethanol that has been transferred to and metabolized by the fetal unit, rendering FAEE a powerful direct biomarker reflective of true fetal exposure to ethanol in utero.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of cocaine and benzoylecgonine across the perfused human placental cotyledon
TL;DR: The results suggest the placenta may serve as a depot for large amounts of cocaine, thus offering some degree of fetal protection after bolus administration and fetal exposure may be prolonged by placental retention and subsequent release of cocaine and benzoylecgonine.
