Smoking Affects Female Fertility in Mice - 11/27/2007

An online study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation showed that mothers who smoked prior, during, and after pregnancy may negatively affect their female offspring’s infertility.

According to lead researcher, Andrea Jurisicova, smoking during pregnancy is associated with an array of birth complications from low birth weight, placental problems, and early births.

To investigate the effects of smoking on female fertility, researchers injected female mice with environmental toxins found in cigarette smoke before and after their pregnancies. The study found that the female offspring had roughly two-thirds fewer ovarian follicles. This means these female offspring had fewer chances of conceiving due to their reduced number of eggs.
