Archaeometabolomics characterizes phenotypic differences in human cortical bone at a molecular level relating to tobacco use.

Abstract excerpt

Tobacco consumption affects human health, but no studies have investigated its effect on the bone metabolome, or if any changes are traceable after long postmortem intervals. Human osteoarchaeological remains preserve small molecules, making them valuable for studies that aim to examine past conditions. We test if there are molecular differences in the metabolome of cortical bone between archaeological...
