Permeability of placenta to inulin

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988
Inulin was administered to eight volunteer patients at term gestation over a period of 3 hours before cesarean section. Inulin concentrations were repeatedly measured in maternal plasma, in fetal plasma, and in amniotic fluid at the time of delivery. Total inulin uptake of the conceptus was taken to be the sum of the inulin in the amniotic fluid and in
