The children of women who smoked while pregnant are more likely to be obese in their teenage years, a study has revealed.
Researchers found that those who were exposed to cigarette smoke while in the womb had significantly higher quantities of fat than their non-exposed peers later in life Marlboro Red Cigarettes.
The exposed teenagers had a third more fat around their internal organs and 26 per cent more fat directly under the skin Newport Cigarettes, according to the international team that carried out the study Newport Cigarettes Carton Price.
Zdenka Pausova, one of the study's two principal investigators, said the findings provide another reason for expectant mothers to avoid smoking.
She said: 'We believe that maternal cigarette smoking during pregnancy plays an important role in the foetal programming of obesity.
'Although we do not know the exact mechanisms, we know that nicotine in cigarette smoke, for example, sets into the baby's body and stays there in higher quantities and for longer than in the mother's.
'Animal studies suggest that nicotine given prenatally could influence certain parts of the brain, including those that control how much and what we eat and how well we burn calories Marlboro Cigarettes.'
The scientists studied more than 500 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18, half of whom were exposed to maternal cigarette smoke.
Those who were exposed weighed about 300 grams less at birth than their peers, were breast-fed for a shorter period of time and were exposed more frequently to second-hand smoke in-utero.
Magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure the two types of fat and the teenagers were interviewed by a nutritionist to track their daily energy and nutrient intake and asked to complete questionnaires about their physical activity Cheap Cigarettes.
Dr Pausova said: 'We found that in late puberty, there was quite a profound difference in adiposity (the accumulation of fat).'
She said this was important as obesity related disorders usually considered diseases of adulthood are now beginning in adolescence.
This is thought to be the first study to find that in-utero exposure to cigarette smoke is associated with higher intra-abdominal fat in late puberty Marlboro Menthol.
The research, carried out by scientists from the University of Nottingham and four Canadian universities, is published in the latest edition of the journal Obesity.
