Lack of endometrial SGLT1 is associated with smaller liter size and lower birth weight in mice and recurrent pregnancy loss in humans. WT male and female mice were crossed with Slc5a1 −/− females (n = 5), and males, respectively (n = 6). Arithmetic means ± SEM are shown. (a) Number of implantation sites at 7.5 d.p.c. (b) Pups per litter, and (c) Birth-weight of corresponding heterozygotic pups. (d) Comparison of endometrial SLC5A1 transcripts in patients without a history of pregnancy loss (Con; n = 9) or patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL; n = 9). Transcript levels are expressed as transcripts per million (TPM). The data were derived from in silico analysis of publicly available microarray data [Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Profiles; ID: GSE65102]. (e) SGLT1 protein levels in mid-luteal endometrial biopsies from Control subjects (n = 5) and RPL patients (n = 5) was assessed by Western blot analysis and normalized to GAPDH expression. The original Western blot data are shown in Figure S6. The densitometry data represent arithmetic means ± SEM. **Indicates P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test).
