Placental uptake and transport of ACP, a neutral nonmetabolizable amino acid, in an ovine model of fetal growth restriction
18 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Reductions in fetal plasma concentrations of certain amino acids and reduced amino acid transport in vesicle studies suggest impaired placental amino acid transport in human fetal growth restriction (FGR). In the present study, we tested the hypothesis of an impairment in amino acid transport in the ovine model of hyperthermia-induced FGR by determining transplacental and placental retention and total placental...
