Lack of Effect of Oxygen Tension upon the Permeability of the Guinea Pig Placenta to d(+)xylose and Sorbose

Abstract
Summary.: The effect of changes in oxygen tension upon the permeability of the placenta to d(+)xylose and sorbose was studied in situ. D(+)xylose or sorbose was injected into the foetal circulation and the fall in the foetal blood sugar was studied.It was observed that a maternal hypoxia or hyperoxia had no clearcut effect upon the placental transfer of these sugars.
