Abstract

This review investigates the correlation between prenatal tobacco exposure and the risk of liver diseases in offspring. By synthesizing data from clinical trials and animal studies, it provides a comprehensive overview of the potential mechanisms underlying this association. This review begins by analyzing the prevalence of maternal smoking and its impact on fetal development. It then discusses specific liver diseases observed in offspring exposed prenatally to tobacco, such as acute liver injuries and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, and discusses the underlying pathophysiological pathways. Current evidence indicates that altered fetal liver development, oxidative stress, and genetic modifications may predispose offspring to liver diseases. Furthermore, this review highlights the gaps in current research and the need for longitudinal studies to better understand the long-term effects of prenatal tobacco exposure on the liver. The review concludes with recommendations for public health policies aimed at enhancing our understanding of maternal smoking and mitigating its adverse effects on offspring, emphasizing the importance of smoking cessation during pregnancy.

期刊介绍： Toxicological Research is the official journal of the Korean Society of Toxicology. The journal covers all areas of Toxicological Research of chemicals, drugs and environmental agents affecting human and animals, which in turn impact public health. The journal’s mission is to disseminate scientific and technical information on diverse areas of toxicological research. Contributions by toxicologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, biochemists, pharmacologists, clinical researchers and epidemiologists with a global view on public health through toxicological research are welcome. Emphasis will be given to articles providing an understanding of the toxicological mechanisms affecting animal, human and public health. In the case of research articles using natural extracts, detailed information with respect to the origin, extraction method, chemical profiles, and characterization of standard compounds to ensure the reproducible pharmacological activity should be provided.
