Figure 4

(a) Averages and (b) standard deviations of the ADC values measured in the fetal brains of the wildtype and knockout/l-NAME pregnant mice here studied. Results show average values arising from ~ 20 to 40 fetoplacental units (depending on the age and animal model) segmented as illustrated in this figure, and analyzed by Gaussian fittings. Error bars for each measurement represent the spread in average values detected for the mean and standard deviations of the ADCs over the full cohorts. All data were collected using the acquisition conditions described in Fig. 3.
