Fig. 8. Fetal growth parameters prior to preterm birth.
(A) Fetuses (with their placentas) from dams injected with αCD3ε, LPS, or RU486 or their respective controls prior to preterm birth. Data are representative of individual litters (n=3 each). (B) Weights of fetuses from dams injected with αCD3ε, LPS, or RU486 or their respective controls prior to preterm birth (n=7-10 each). The p-values were determined by 2-tailed unpaired t-test. Data are shown as scatter plots (mean ± SEM). (C) Fetal lungs collected from dams injected with αCD3ε, LPS, or RU486 or their respective controls prior to preterm birth (n=3 each). (D) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson’s trichrome staining of lungs from preterm and term neonates (n=3 each). Magnification 40x.
