Gestational diabetes reduces adenosine transport in human placental microvascular endothelium, an effect reversed by insulin.

Gestational diabetes reduces adenosine transport in human placental microvascular endothelium, an effect reversed by insulin.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) courses with increased fetal plasma adenosine concentration and reduced adenosine transport in placental macrovascular endothelium. Since insulin modulates human equilibrative nucleoside transporters (hENTs) expression/activity, we hypothesize that GDM will alter...
