Uptake and release of amino acids in the fetal-placental unit in human pregnancies
OBJECTIVES The current concepts of human fetal-placental amino acid exchange and metabolism are mainly based on animal-, in vitro- and ex vivo models. We aimed to determine and assess the paired relationships between concentrations and arteriovenous differences of 19 amino acids on the maternal and fetal sides of the human placenta in a large study sample. METHODS This cross-sectional in vivo...
متن کاملNew concepts in fetal and placental amino acid metabolism.
Fetal amino acid nutrition and metabolism have been studied primarily in pregnant sheep. The umbilical uptake of amino acids changes during gestation, but at both mid- and late gestation the total supply exceeds that required for growth. Weight-specific protein synthetic rate decreases with increasing gestational age, and these changes are proportional to the changes in metabolic rate. The use ...
متن کاملProtein and Amino Acid Metabolism in the Fetal- Placental Unit
Introduction Protein synthesis and accretion are the cornerstones of growth that provide the structural framework and enzymatic machinery necessary for fetal development. The maternal uterine circulation supplies the components that the fetus uses for protein accretion. All are derived from the maternal diet or maternal tissue stores. It is important to explore the regulatory processes within t...
متن کاملPlacental amino acid transport.
Normal fetal growth and development depend on a continuous supply of amino acids from the mother to the fetus. The placenta is responsible for the transfer of amino acids between the two circulations. The human placenta is hemomonochorial, meaning that the maternal and fetal circulations are separated by a single layer of polarized epithelium called the syncytiotrophoblast, which is in direct c...
متن کاملPlacental uptake and transport of ACP, a neutral nonmetabolizable amino acid, in an ovine model of fetal growth restriction.
Reductions in fetal plasma concentrations of certain amino acids and reduced amino acid transport in vesicle studies suggest impaired placental amino acid transport in human fetal growth restriction (FGR). In the present study, we tested the hypothesis of an impairment in amino acid transport in the ovine model of hyperthermia-induced FGR by determining transplacental and placental retention an...
