To elucidate the change in EPH gestosis placental amino acid transport activity, we investigated the uptake of L-alanine into microvillous membrane vesicles prepared from EPH gestosis placenta and from normal placenta by using a rapid filtration technique. 1. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was the marker enzyme of microvillous membrane vesicles (MMV). The ALP activity of mild EPH gestosis placental MMV didn't differ from that of normal placental MMV. On the other hand, the ALP activity of severe EPH gestosis placental MMV decreased compared to that of normal placental MMV. 2. The uptake of L-alanine into human placental MMV was dependent on the Na+ electrochemical gradient, so the transport across human placental MMV was a secondarily active one. The L-alanine transport activity of mild EPH gestosis placental MMV didn't differ from that of normal placental MMV. On the other hand, the L-alanine transport activity of severe EPH gestosis placental MMV decreased prominently compared to that of normal placental MMV.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011225 Pre-Eclampsia A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.
