The mean protein density of GLUT1, GLUT3 and SNAT2 as measured by Western blot analysis in rat placental homogenates Placental were collected from rats injected i.p. with glucose (2 g kg−1) or saline (control) three times on GD 10 (A, n = 8–9) and from rats injected a total of six times on GD 10 and 11 (B, n = 9–11). No significant changes were observed between glucose- and saline-treated groups. The mean density of the control group was assigned a value of 1 and the mean density of the hyperglycaemic group was calculated relative to the control group. Values are given as means ± s.e.m.
