Inhibition of Human Trophoblast Invasiveness by High Glucose Concentrations
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Trophoblast invasion of the uterus is regulated by local microenvironmental factors. OBJECTIVE: Because certain conditions may affect uterine glucose levels during placentation, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of glucose concentration on trophoblast invasion. RESULTS: Compared with incubation in 0.2 and 2.5 mm glucose, a 24-h incubation in increasing glucose concentrations (5 and 10 mm)...
