Regulation of human trophoblast GLUT1 glucose transporter by insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I).

Regulation of human trophoblast GLUT1 glucose transporter by insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I).

Glucose transport to the fetus across the placenta takes place via glucose transporters in the opposing faces of the barrier layer, the microvillous and basal membranes of the syncytiotrophoblast.
