The impact of P. gingivalis infection on spiral artery remodeling in SD and WIS rats measured as reduced spiral artery lumen size, retention of VSMC in spiral arterioles, and decreased extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion into mesometrium. (a) Came from uteroplacental specimens that were fixed in toto to preserve uterine vascular architecture. (b) and (c) include utero-placental specimens used in panel a as well as specimens in which the fetus was removed from the uteroplacenta before fixation. Horizontal lines indicate mean ± standard deviation. Data within each rat strain was analyzed by student’s t test. Composite image was created with Adobe Photoshop 2020 v. 21.1.3 (www.adobe.com).
