Fructose as a component of the foetal blood and foetal fluids of the bush baby (galago senegalensis senegalensis)

ABSTRACT THE presence of fructose in substantial concentrations in the foetal blood and fluids appears to be associated with those animals (ungulates and Cetacea) which have either an

epitheliochorial or a syndesmochorial type of placenta1. The galago, although a member of the Primate Order, has a placenta of the epitheliochorial type2,3 and is in contrast to many other

members of this Order which have placentae of the haemochorial type. On the foregoing generalization, the placenta of _Galago_ could be expected to produce fructose. Access through your
