Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Placentas of anesthetized rats were perfused in situ on the fetal side to study mechanisms of Mg2+ transport. The perfusate was a Mg(2+)-free Krebs-Ringer, and the unidirectional transfer of Mg2+ from maternal plasma to this Ringer was compared with that of 45Ca and 51Cr-EDTA, the latter being employed as a paracellular diffusional marker. Placental perfusion with amiloride (0.5 mM) or ouabain (1 mM) both rapidly (4 min) reduced maternal-fetal clearance (Kmf) for Mg2+ but had no effect on Kmf for 45Ca. In contrast, perfusion of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide (1 mM) did not affect Kmf for Mg2+ or 45Ca. Placental perfusion with a Na+-free Ringer reduced Kmf for both Mg2+ and 45Ca, although the latter response was delayed. Kmf for 51Cr-EDTA was increased by amiloride and was unaffected by perfusion of ouabain, acetazolamide, or Na+-free Ringer, indicating that the effects of these treatments on Kmf of Mg2+ do not reflect nonspecific effects on placental permeability. These data suggest that maternal-fetal transfer of Mg2+ across the perfused rat placenta is Na+ dependent.
