Abstract

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. In utero exposure to endocrine disruptors might cause obesogenic effects and the reprogramming of hepatic set points, influencing the initiation of the disease later in life. Maternal smoking, a unique model of real early-life exposure, is associated with increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome in offspring. We investigated effects of maternal smoking on human fetal liver pathways related to NAFLD pathogenesis.
