Prenatal exposure to arecoline (areca nut alkaloid) and birth outcomes.
The betel nut is commonly used as a drug by Asian populations. A high prevalence of adverse pregnancy outcomes has been reported in women who chewed betel quid during gestation. The hypothesis that chronic exposure of the fetus to arecoline (the principal alkaloid of the areca nut) is the cause was investigated in a clinical observational study on six newborns from Asian mothers who chewed bete...
متن کاملAssessment of Salivary Flow Rate and pH Among Areca Nut Chewers and Oral Submucous Fibrosis Subjects: A Comparative Study
BACKGROUND To assess and compare the salivary flow rate (SFR) and salivary pH among areca nut chewers, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients and apparently healthy individuals. METHODS A comparative study was conducted to assess and compare the SFR and pH among 135 outpatients (45 areca nut chewers + 45 OSMF + 45 control) at The Oxford Dental College and Research Hospital, Bangalore, India....
متن کاملProliferative and morphologic characterization of buccal mucosal fibroblasts in areca nut chewers: a cell culture study.
OBJECTIVE To isolate, culture and characterize fibroblasts from the buccal mucosa of areca nut chewers with and without oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary fibroblast cultures were established by the collagenase disaggregation technique and the phenotypic and growth characteristics were studied. RESULTS Cells cultured from OSF showed a statistically significant incr...
متن کاملEpithelial atrophy in oral submucous fibrosis is mediated by copper (II) and arecoline of areca nut
Exposure of oral cavity to areca nut is associated with several pathological conditions including oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). Histopathologically OSF is characterized by epithelial atrophy, chronic inflammation, juxtaepithelial hyalinization, leading to fibrosis of submucosal tissue and affects 0.5% of the population in the Indian subcontinent. As the molecular mechanisms leading to atrophie...
متن کاملScreening for oral potentially malignant disorders among areca (betel) nut chewers in Guam and Saipan
BACKGROUND The Mariana Islands, including Guam and Saipan, are home to many ethnic subpopulations of Micronesia. Oral cancer incidence rates vary among subpopulations, and areca (betel) nut chewing, a habit with carcinogenic risks, is common. Our objectives were to conduct a screening program to detect oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) in betel nut chewers, measure their betel nut che...
