Fig 2: Protein expression of GLUT1 (A) and GLUT3 (B) on chorionic villi of the placenta. The results showed a significant increase in the protein expressions of GLUT1 and GLUT 3 in the placentas of pregnant women with GDM compared to the corresponding values in the placentas of healthy pregnant women. (*) p = 0.05. (**) p = 0.01.

Fig 3: mRNA expression of GLUT1 (A) and GLUT3 (B). The results show that there was no significant difference between the placentas of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and those of healthy pregnant women.
