| Thirty- two pregnant female rats exposed to cigarette smoke in three levels (5, 10 and 15) cig /day for one-month period, the pregnant females exposed to 10 cig /day had suffered from endometritis and inflammation occurred in the decidua capsularis and thrombotic phenomena, while pregnant female exposed into 15 cig /day had an increased frequency of coagulation necrosis and inflammation in the decidua capsularis and decidua basalis. The decidua basalis had arterial fibrosis. The two levels (10, 15 cig/day) cigarette smoking exposure causes fetal growth retardation and shorter gestation period, pregnant rats showed significantly reduced (P≤0.05) and (P ≤ 0.01) food intake and body weight. In the two levels (10, 15 cig / day) it was found significantly increased (P≤0.05) and (P ≤ 0.01) respectively Erythrocyte count but decrease (P≤0.05) and (P ≤ 0.01) in differential count in white blood cell (Lymphocyte). | ||
