  1. aThe number of fetoplacental units decreased as the pregnancy of a given animal advanced, as fewer units could be captured by the coil’s field-of-view; hence the ranges in this row reflect the larger number of fetuses captured at E14.5 over their E19.5 counterparts. ADC and DCE analyses for l-NAME-treated mice were only performed at one or two pregnancy days, and hence the fixed number of units.
