Placental expression of glucose transporters GLUT ‐1, GLUT‐3, GLUT‐8 and GLUT‐12 in pregnancies complicated by gestational and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
ConclusionsIn term pregnancies complicated by well-controlled GDM/PGDM expression of transporters GLUT-3, GLUT-8 and GLUT-12 in the placenta remains unaffected. Increased expression of GLUT-1 among women with type 1 PGDM may contribute to higher rate of macrosomic fetuses in this population.
