Abstract
In vitro perfusion studies show countertransport of glucose in the human placenta induced by the addition of the nonmetabolizable glucose analog 3–0-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (3MG). This ‘uphill’ transport is the movement of a glucose against a concentration gradient caused by the ‘downhill’ movement of the 3MG. This phenomena is a characteristic of a mobile carrier system.Keywords
