Abstract

We examined the effect of maternal smoking on plasma and urinary levels of vitamin E isoforms in preterm infants. Maternal smoking during pregnancy decreased infant plasma alpha- and gamma-tocopherol concentrations at 1 week and 4 weeks, with 45% of infants of smokers deficient in alpha-tocopherol at 1 month after birth.

Keywords: alpha-tocopherol; gamma-tocopherol; pregnancy; prematurity; preterm; smoking; vitamin E.
