Morphometric analysis of placentas in the hsFLT1/rtTA mouse model. Analysis of the labyrinthine (A), spongiotrophoblast (B), and total placental area (C) as well as labyrinth to spongiotrophoblast area ratio (D) of human soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (hsFLT1) expressing fetal growth restriction wild-type placentas (FGR wt; n = 8), compared to control (n = 8), and doxycycline (Dox) control (n = 7) placentas. FGR wt placentas showed slight reduction in labyrinth and total placental area and labyrinth to spongiotrophoblast ratio compared to both control groups, whereas spongiotrophoblast area was slightly increased. Data is presented in box and whisker plot. *p < 0.05 as determined by the Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn's post hoc test.
