Metabolic studies were carried out in 22 sheep fetuses free of operative stress. The studies
included measurements of umbilical blood flow (175±8 ml/min/kg), fetal oxygen
consumption (5.99±0.15 ml/min/kg), carbon dioxide production (5.65±0.17 ml/min/kg),
glucose uptake (3.06±0.28 mg/min/kg), respiratory quotient (0.94±0.01), and
glucose/oxygen quotient·(0.41±0.03). The studies demonstrated that fetal glucose uptake
could be correlated with the glucose concentration difference betsveen maternal arterial and …
