We estimated in vitro degradation and consumption of glycogen by placental tissue derived from pregnancies complicated by gestosis and anemia. Placental tissue was incubated in suitable medium. Glycogen concentration either before or after incubation was assayed. Glycogen consumption was expressed as micromoles of glucose per 1 g of wet tissue, the percentage of glycogen consumption has been shown in tables. It is concluded that in advanced gestosis and severe anemia of pregnancy the consumption of native glycogen is increased, consequently it may lead to metabolic insufficiency of human placenta.
