Modulation of Multidrug Resistance Phosphoglycoprotein in the Mouse Placenta and Fetal Brain by the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Sertraline and Maternal Bacterial Infection

Multidrug resistance phosphoglycoprotein (P-gp) is expressed in the placenta and fetal blood-brain barrier (BBB) and plays a critical role in reducing fetal accumulation of xenobiotics. In other tissues, P-gp activity is inhibited by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and by lethal dose...
