abstract：:Glutamine is the most versatile amino acid and its plasma concentration is the highest of all amino acid. Many transporters are therefore involved in glutamine uptake or efflux. Glutamine is actively released from the placenta into fetal circulation. In this study, we examined the alteration of transporters that trans...
