Changed placental structure in the Cx31.1/ mouse. Stereological analysis on each three Cx31.1+/+ and Cx31.1/ placentas at E10.5. Areas of placental structures are presented in μm2. Placentas are in average significantly reduced in size (A). The reduction is size is mainly due to a reduced labyrinth layer (B). Fetal blood spaces are reduced in total area (D). There is a trend in reduction of the junctional zone (C) and the area of trophoblast giant cell (TGC) is significantly reduced (G). Areas of spongiotrophoblasts (E), maternal labyrinthine sinuses (F), and labyrinthine trophoblasts (H) were not significantly changed. (I) Tabular result of measurement with standard error of the mean (SEM, n=7).
