Acute metabolic and circulatory effects of cigarette smoking in late pregnancy. 1979

L Nylund, and N O Lunell, and B Persson, and B B Fredholm, and H Lagercrantz

The acute metabolic and circulatory effects of cigarette smoking (two cigarettes of a standard brand) in the last trimester of pregnancy were studied. 12 subjects, all of whom where hospitalized because of pregnancy complications, volunteered to participate in the investigation. A statistically significant immediate increment in the maternal heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fetal heart rate, plasma glucose and plasma cyclic AMP was noted. Plasma glycerol, plasma insulin and blood lactate did not change significantly. 30 min after smoking there was a small but significant increase in plasma nonesterified fatty acids, plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate and plasma C-peptide.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007773 Lactates Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D011263 Pregnancy Trimester, Third The last third of a human PREGNANCY, from the beginning of the 29th through the 42nd completed week (197 to 294 days) of gestation.

D002096 C-Peptide The middle segment of proinsulin that is between the N-terminal B-chain and the C-terminal A-chain. It is a pancreatic peptide of about 31 residues, depending on the species. Upon proteolytic cleavage of proinsulin, equimolar INSULIN and C-peptide are released. C-peptide immunoassay has been used to assess pancreatic beta cell function in diabetic patients with circulating insulin antibodies or exogenous insulin. Half-life of C-peptide is 30 min, almost 8 times that of insulin. Proinsulin C-Peptide,C-Peptide, Proinsulin,Connecting Peptide,C Peptide,C Peptide, Proinsulin,Proinsulin C Peptide
