Changes in placenta nutrients transport directly contribute to the
development of abnormal fetal growth detail information on the
mechanism by which placental nutrients transporter are regulated
help us to better understand how pregnancy complication develop
for designing novel intervention strategies
Factors influence transport across the placenta :
Uteroplacental and umbilical blood flows
Placental metabolism
Activity/expression of specific transporter proteins in the placental
barier
