Compelling epidemiological and animal experimental data demonstrate that
cardiometabolic and neuropsychiatric diseases originate in a suboptimal intrauterine …

Several types of specialized glucose transporters (GLUTs) provide constant glucose
transport from the maternal circulation to the developing fetus through the placental barrier …

Glucose metabolism is vital to the survival of living organisms. Since the discovery of the
Warburg effect in the 1920s, glycolysis has become a major research area in the field of …

Placental transfer of glucose constitutes one of the major determinants of the intrauterine
foetal growth. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the expression of glucose …

thiazolidinedione-phenothiazine molecular hybrids, 9a–9t were synthesized, characterized
and screened for antidiabetic activities viz., α-amylase inhibition and glucose uptake assay …

Background: Alterations in the placental expression of glucose transporters (GLUTs), the
crucial maternal-fetal nutrient transporters, have been found in women with hyperglycemia …

Fetal and neonatal development is a critical period for the establishment of the future
metabolic health and disease risk of an individual. Both maternal undernutrition and …

During pregnancy, the adipokines leptin and adiponectin can affect placental nutrient
transport and inflammatory pathways, potentially leading to altered fetal growth and …

GDM, as a metabolic disease during pregnancy, regulates GLUT3 translocation by AMPK,
thereby affecting glucose uptake in trophoblasts. It provides a new research idea and …

GLUT1, being a ubiquitous transporter isoform, is considered primarily responsible for
glucose uptake during glycolysis. However, there is still uncertainty about the regulatory …
