SLC2A4 and gestational diabetes: Accumulated evidence has shown that the mRNA and protein expression levels of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) are negatively correlated with the expression level of miR-518d in placenta tissues with GDM, suggesting that miR-518d affects the glucose transport and insulin sensitivity through inhibiting the expression of GLUT1 and GLUT4.
