Glucose utilization by fetal muscles during maternal fasting.
In utero, glucose utilization by fetal muscles (heart and hindlimb) displays important interspecies differences. In the fed state, it is 5-fold higher in rat than in rabbit fetal muscles. Maternal fasting induces a decrease in glucose utilization in fetal muscles of the rat but not of the rabbit.
