Placental glucose transport and GLUT 1 expression in insulin-dependent diabetes

Article Abstract:

Glucose transport appears to be increased in the placentas of diabetic pregnant women. This could explain why their babies are larger than normal even though their blood sugar is well controlled. Researchers took samples of placental tissue from 7 diabetic pregnant women and 21 healthy pregnant women after they had delivered. Placental samples from the diabetic women had increased expression of a protein called GLUT-1, which transports glucose in the placenta. Glucose uptake by the placenta was 59% higher in the diabetic women compared to the other women.

STAN in clinical practice - The outcome of 2 years of regular use in the city of Gothenburg

Article Abstract:

Four thousand eight hundred and thirty out of 14,687 term pregnancies are monitored using the STAN S 21 fetal heart monitor and the associated clinical guidelines. The results reveal that the annual rate of STAN usage increases from 28.1% to 37.7% and is associated with a significant reduction in metabolic acidosis rate in the total population from 0.76% to 0.44%. The rate of operative delivery did not change during the 2 years in the total population.

Placental glucose transport in gestational diabetes mellitus

Article Abstract:

Hyperglycemia only causes increased transport of glucose across the placenta during the first trimester of pregnancy. Gestational diabetes usually occurs in the later stages of pregnancy.
