The Vernix Caseosa is the Main Site of Dioxin Excretion in the Human Foetus

Scientific Reports, 2017
Dioxins are highly toxic to foetuses and prenatal exposure leads to adverse health effects; however, the metabolic pathways involved in dioxin excretion are poorly understood. We determined the dynamics of maternal-to-foetal dioxin transfer during normal
