Maternal-fetal plasma glucose relationships in late monkey pregnancy.
Maternal hyperglycemia was induced in six late gestation monkey pregnancies with intravenous glucose injection plus infusion. The maximum measured plasma glucose levels of the mother varied from 380 to 1,020 Gm. per cent. A significant linear relationship evolved between maternal and fetal plasma glucose peak concentrations. A saturation limit to placental transfer of glucose across the placenta is not apparent from these data.
