Regulation of Nutrient Transport across the Placenta
Abnormal fetal growth, both growth restriction and overgrowth, is associated with perinatal complications and an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease later in life. Fetal growth is dependent on nutrient availability, which in turn is related to the capacity of the placenta to transport these nutrients. The activity of a range of nutrient transporters has been reported to be de...
متن کاملNutrient transport across the placenta.
The placenta forms a selective barrier that functions to transport nutrients that are of critical use to the fetus. Nutrient transport across the placenta is regulated by many different active transporters found on the surface of both maternal and fetal facing membranes of the placenta. The presence of these transporters in the placenta has been implicated in the facilitation of nutrient diffus...

متن کاملMediation of Folate Transport across the Placenta
Folate (B9) is an essential molecule for the development and maturation of cells. During gestation, it is extremely important to the growth and development of the nervous system. Systemic deficiencies of B9 during pregnancy cause neural tube defects (NTD) ranging from spina bifida to anencephaly. However, over supplementation of folate has been linked with the progression of cancer and therefor...
متن کاملCURRENT TOPIC Mineral transport across the placenta
We here review the transport of three minerals which have in common their role in bone mineralisation, their active transport across the placenta, and the rise in their placental transport rate in late gestation. The growing and differentiating human fetus is entirely dependent on its mother for the supply of nutrients and oxygen and removal of waste products. In mammals, through most of gestat...
