11 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Alterations in placental nutrient transfer have been implicated in fetal growth abnormalities. In pregnancies complicated by diabetes and accelerated fetal growth, upregulations of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and amino acid transporter system A have been shown in the syncytiotrophoblast of term placenta.
