Popis: | Objective:To assess the impact of administration of a glucose load to the pregnant diabetic ewe on fetal biochemistry and umbilical-placental perfusion. Methods: Six pregnant ewes were rendered glucose intolerant by the administration of streptozocin at 85–90 days gestation. An intravenous glucose load was administered to the 6 diabetic ewes and 4 control animals at 125—130 days gestation. Assessment of the fetal responses to this glucose load was made by cardiovascular monitoring, biochemical evaluation and measurement of fetal blood flows by the radioactive microsphere technique. Results:In the fetus of the diabetic ewe the arterial pH progressively decreased from 7.36±0.04 to 7.10±0.09 (p |
