From: Paternal age impairs in vitro embryo and in vivo fetal development in murine
Fetal development at 16 days of gestation. Fetuses length (a) and weight (b), and fetal: placental weight ratio (c) of young and senile groups. We considered the average of the litters per male, 14 litters as experimental unit (5 litters in the senile group and 9 litters in the young group). The photos were performed with a megapixel digital color camera (Olympus LC30, Olympus®, Munster, German) attached to a stereomicroscope (Olympus SZ61, Olympus®, Tokyo, Japan) at ×8 magnification. Different superscript letters in each bar represent p < 0.05, as indicated by statistical T-test.
