There was a positive cotinine result in 113 (28%) mothers in early pregnancy; of these smoking women, 35 (31%) had quit smoking by the time of their late pregnancy blood test and 28 (25%) had reduced their cotinine level by at least 25%. Many more lighter smokers had quit (59%) ...
Objectives: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that African American preadolescents who participated in a family-centered parenting intervention at age 11 would show lower levels of cotinine, a biomarker for recent smoking, at age 20 than would similar participants in the control conditio...
The relationship between alcohol intake, heavy metal levels in the blood, urine cotinine (uCot), and pulmonary function in smokers has seldom been studied. This study aimed to investigate the effect of high alcohol consumption on heavy metal levels in the blood, cotinine metabolism, and lung func...
Blood samples were collected via the intraorbital vein, and the circulating serum levels of ERC6-complexed Cot-Biotin-Cot peptide were determined via enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). c Circulating serum levels of total ERC6 were also determined via EIAs. The results are shown as the mean ± ...
and cotinine in urine, plasma and saliva from smok- 20-ml test-tube. About 100 mg of K CO , 0.5 ml of 2 3 ers or passive smokers. Milli-Pore water and 20 ml of diphenylamine (10 mg/ ml in methanol) as an internal standard were added to the solution, and the sample was extracte...

These results indicate that cotinine may sensitize α7 nAChRs to low levels of acetylcholine (a previously uncharacterized mechanism), and that cotinine could be used as an adjunctive agent to improve the effective dose range of cholinergic compounds (e.g., donepezil) in the treatment of AD and...
Cotinine levels were examined from blood samples, which were then examined by Calbiotech reagent. Farnsworth Munsell 15 Hue was used to examine color vision. Statistical analysis was done using Shapiro-Wilk for normality distribution data, Mann Whitney and Independent T-test comparing data between two...
Objectives The aim of the current work was to use ENDS to test concentration-dependent effects of nicotine e-cigarette vapor inhalation on blood-nicotine concentrations, blood-cotinine concentrations, and somatic withdrawal signs over time in rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were exposed to vapor ...
We used multiple linear regression models to estimate the effects of cord blood cotinine and gene modification. Cotinine levels were significantly negatively associated with developmental quotients (DQs) of the whole test, and cognitive, language, fine-motor and social subtests of the CDIIT. Lower ...
