2.3.1.194 | medicine |
histological changes, decreased steroid hormone concentrations and decreased cholesterol supply are observed in nicotine-treated fetal adrenals. The expression of genes regulating ketone metabolic process decreases in nicotine-treated fetal adrenals. Acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase (AACS), the enzyme utilizing ketones for cholesterol supply, displays decreased expression and increased DNA methylation in the proximal promoter of AACS |
