Movat’s pentachrome histology. Movat’s pentachrome–stained cross-sections for representative (a) carotid arteries (left side: control panel and right side: placental insufficiency–induced intrauterine growth restriction (PI-IUGR) panel; bar = 100 µm) and (b) umbilical arteries (left side: control panel and right side: PI-IUGR panel; bar = 200 µm). Qualitative analysis showed PI-IUGR arteries had media with increased ground substance (GAGs), and the adventitia exhibited increased collagen disrupting the collagen-to-elastin ratio, indicating arterial stiffening. GAGs, glycosaminoglycans.
