The supply of citrate to the sheep fetus.

In situ placental perfusion has been used to study the role of the sheep placenta in fetal citrate metabolism. The perfusate citrate concentrations rose steadily to values higher than in fetal plasma. This rise was not influenced by intravenous administration of citrate to the ewe. Concentration and electropotential gradients indicate that transplacental passage is unlikely and the rise is probably due to placental synthesis. However, the quantity of citrate supplied to the fetus was calculated to be small compared with the fetal metabolic rate. Comparison with the guinea pig shows close similarity in fetal plasma concentrations and the amount of citrate formed per unit weight of fetus.
