From: Reduced Uteroplacental Perfusion Pressure (RUPP) causes altered trophoblast differentiation and pericyte reduction in the mouse placenta labyrinth

Figure 9

Cartoon represents change in RUPP placentae at E18.5. The 3 placenta layers are visible in the E18.5 placenta with the Tpbpa ISH staining in blue identifying the junctional zone, with the maternal decidua above it and the labyrinth layer below it, closest to the fetus. The stacked bar graphs represent the difference in both the size of the placenta and the relative size of the layers at E18.5. A maternal and fetal blood vessel cartoon allow for visualization of the orientation of each of the cell types that make up the maternal and fetal capillary network of the labyrinth layer. Finally, the 3-dimentional cartoon of the Sham and RUPP fetal blood vessel is representative of the increased fetal blood space area seen in response to RUPP and the reduction in pericytes.
