Overview Of The Nicotine Metabolite, Serum Test
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance commonly found in tobacco products. It stands as one of the most heavily used addictive drugs worldwide. The main metabolites of nicotine are cotinine, trans-3’-hydroxy cotinine and nor-nicotine. Among these, cotinine is the most commonly employed marker for detecting nicotine exposure. The accumulation of cotinine in serum corresponds to the dose and hepatic metabolism of nicotine. Non-tobacco users may accumulate nicotine metabolites through passive exposure to tobacco smoke.
