Glucose Transporter GLUT3 in the Rat Placental Barrier: A Possible Machinery for the Transplacental Transfer of Glucose
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
Glucose transfer across the placental barrier is crucial for fetal development. To investigate the role of glucose transporter isoforms in the transplacental transfer of glucose, we investigated the localization of glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3 immunohistochemically in the rat placenta. In the labyrinth, the site of maternofetal exchange of substances, both GLUT1 and GLUT3 were present, whereas only GLUT1...
