Volumetric analysis of the mouse placenta. (A–C) T2-weighted images of the placentas in an E15, an E17 PBS-treated, and an E17 LPS-treated mouse. The dashed contours indicate the manual delineation of the placentas for volumetric analysis. (D) A schematic of the experimental setup with a planer surface coil. (E) A scatter plot of placenta volumes from the E15 (n=43), E17 PBS (n=30) and LPS group (n=30) groups. * p<0.01 by one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc t-test with Bonferroni correction.
