Abstract
Our study shows for the first time that in preeclampsia placental GLUT1 expression and function are down-regulated at the apical plasma membrane of the syncytiotrophoblast. Further studies are needed to assess whether these changes occur also in vivo and contribute to the development of IUGR in preeclampsia.
