Maternal Nrf2 and gluthathione-S-transferase polymorphisms do not modify associations of prenatal tobacco smoke exposure with asthma and lung function in school-aged children.
BACKGROUND Maternal smoking during pregnancy has detrimental effects on the respiratory health of infants and children. Polymorphisms of antioxidant genes including glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) have been proposed as candidates for asthma and reduced lung function in children. METHODS Women enrolled in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children reported smoking habits during preg...
متن کاملChronic productive cough in school children: prevalence and associations with asthma and environmental tobacco smoke exposure
BACKGROUND The relationships between chronic productive cough (CPC), environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, and asthma are not clearly established in children. Therefore, we wished to determine the prevalence of CPC and examine the relationships between CPC, ETS exposure, and asthma in young teenagers. METHODS We performed a cross sectional survey of 2397 Seattle middle school students, ...
متن کاملLung function of school children with low levels of alpha1-antitrypsin and tobacco smoke exposure.
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and other air pollutants has been associated with small decrements in lung function. The susceptibility to pollution exposure may, however, vary substantially between individuals. Children with an impaired protease-antiprotease balance may be particularly vulnerable. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the effects of ETS exposure on children w...
متن کاملEffects of glutathione S-transferase M1, maternal smoking during pregnancy, and environmental tobacco smoke on asthma and wheezing in children.
The rise in childhood asthma prevalence suggests a role for environmental factors in the etiology of this evolving epidemic; however, genetics also influence the occurrence of asthma. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 may play a role in asthma and wheezing occurrence among those exposed to tobacco smoke, as it functions in pathways involved in asthma pathogenesis such as xenobiotic metabolism ...
متن کاملCorrelation between cigarette smoke exposure and prevalence of asthma and allergy symptoms in children, Yazd
Introduction: Cigarette smoke is one of the most prevalent pollutants. Regarding the development of lungs and immune system at early stages of life, exposure to these substances can have adverse effects in this period. It seems that tobacco smoke is not an etiology for wheezing attacks burden, instead, it is an exacerbating factor. This survey was designed to determine the relation of environme...
