P-gp expression inhibition mediates placental glucocorticoid barrier opening and fetal weight loss
1 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prenatal adverse environments can cause fetal intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and higher susceptibility to multiple diseases after birth, related to multi-organ development programming changes mediated by intrauterine overexposure to maternal glucocorticoids. As a glucocorticoid barrier, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is highly expressed in placental syncytiotrophoblasts; however, the effect of P-gp on...
