Figure 7. Stereohistological analysis of male wild-type (+/y) and male Mct8 knockout (−/y) E18.5 placentae.

Figure 7

A: Representative picture of a placental section (wild-type), stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and photographed using a 2× objective lens. The different regions of the mouse placenta are annotated: db = decidua basalis, Lz = labyrinthine zone, Jz = junctional zone and c = chorionic plate. B–C: Volume fractions (B) of the placental regions relative to the whole placenta and absolute volumes (C) of the placental regions in wild-type and litter-matched Mct8 knockout samples. Six placentae were assessed per genotype. The bars represent the mean ±SEM for each group. Significant differences between groups are indicated by *P<0.05.
