Neutral Amino Acid Uptake by the Microvillous Plasma Membrane of the Human Placenta Is Inversely Related to Fetal Size at Birth in Normal Pregnancy

1998-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the physiological regulation of fetal growth is important, as normal variations in size at birth relate to differences in neonatal and adult health. Although fetal growth directly reflects net placental transfer, little is known about how normal fetal growth relates to the transfer capabilities of the placental epithelium, the syncytiotrophoblast. The Na+- dependent and Na+-independent uptakes of met...
