Glutamine is the most versatile amino acid and its plasma concentration is the highest of all amino acid. Many transporters are therefore involved in glutamine uptake or efflux. Glutamine is actively released from the placenta into fetal circulation. In this study, we examined the alteration of transporters that transport glutamine into fetal circulation as gestation progresses. High expression levels...
We investigated the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) in malarial placenta and related histological changes. Thirty-two malarial and 40 control term placentae were collected at Tanga, Tanzania and examined histologically and immunohistochemically. Malaria infected placentae were further divided into acute (15) and chronic (17) cases according to the presence of malarial pigment...
Ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), an important downregulator of Ras activity, has previously been shown to be abundant in human placenta. The expression of p120 and p100 isoforms of GAP in human normal chorionic villi (n=5) and hydatidiform mole (n=5) was investigated to clarify the involvement of Ras GAP in the growth of chorionic villi in the first trimester of pregnancy. Immunoblot analysis...
