Figure 4. Individual mean length, surface area and volume of villous branches in terminal and directly preterminal position of IUGR placentas and clinically normal placentas.

Figure 4

The panels show mean, standard deviation and single values (one per placenta) of the mean length (ml) of the branches at terminal position bT0 (A; ml bT0; result of Kruskal-Wallis test: p = 0.123) and directly preterminal position bT1 (B; ml bT1; p = 0.001), of the mean surface area (msa) of the branches at positions bT0 (C; msa bT0; p = 0.027) and bT1 (D; msa bT1; p = 0.002), and of the mean volume (mv) of the branches in bT0 (E; mv bT0; p = 0.028) and bT1 (F; mv bT1; p = 0.008) in IUGR placentas and clinically normal placentas, with the latter split into placentas with either high (HT-normal) or low (LT-normal) tortuosity in bT1 as defined in Fig. 2. The terms bT0 and bT1 are defined in Fig. 1B. Results of statistical analysis (post-hoc Dunn’s tests for pairwise comparisons after Kruskal-Wallis test with p < 0.05) are indicated. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
