Cigarette smoke contains several toxic and carcinogenic chemicals and has been known to cause pregnancy complications including premature births, low birthweights, and stillbirths. Purpose: This review aims to study nicotine exposure in chicken embryo development comprehensively. Methods: PubMed, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Antpedia sites were used to search for studies using chicken embryos as a model. Studies that reported findings on nicotine's effects on various developmental processes were considered for this review. Conclusion: In total, 55 published articles were included in this review to discuss findings of nicotine-induced alterations during chicken embryo development. Findings have shown that nicotine affects angiogenesis, and embryonic and chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) growth by inhibiting cell proliferation. Nicotine affects brain and cerebellar cortex development by suppressing tumor protein p53 reactions. Nicotine also causes abnormal axial rotation and incomplete formation and closure of neural tubes. The compounds like green tree extract, vitamin C, and folic acid can reduce the effects of nicotine to suppress femur growth, decrease the contractility of cardiomyocytes, and reduce survival rates. These compounds are not protective measures to completely overcome the teratogenic effects of nicotine.\u0000","PeriodicalId":164937,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Zoology","volume":"118 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141126568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
