Prenatal N-acetylcysteine prevents cigarette smoke-induced lung cancer in neonatal mice

Abstract excerpt

Certain adult diseases may have their origin early in life, and perinatal exposures may contribute to cancers both during childhood and later in life. We recently demonstrated that mainstream cigarette smoke (MCS) induces a potent carcinogenic response in mice when exposure starts soon after birth.
