Glycolytic enzymes inhibitors on the trophoblast cells isolated from healthy placenta. The inhibitors, Tunicamycin, catanospermin, and swainsonine (46), on the glycolytic enzyme were used individually to treat the normal trophoblast followed by measuring [3H]-5HT (2.3 × 105 intact cells per assay) (37, 39). Rate of uptake is expressed as the means and SD values of triplicate experiments. The asterisk represents the results of a two-tailed Student t test with both P < 0.001, (compared with untreated trophoblast uptake rates). The effective sites on these enzymes are listed in Table 2.
