Abstract
Summary
Sorbose alone and with glucose have been infused intravenously into pregnant rabbits near term, and permeability coefficients for sorbose under these 2 conditions have been calculated. It has been shown that there is a significant depression of permeability coefficient for sorbose when the maternal blood is overloaded with glucose. The results have been interpreted as indicating a competitive inhibition by glucose of sorbose transfer across the placenta.
