Figure 1From: Utero-placental expression of angiotensin-(1–7) and ACE2 in the pregnant guinea-pigAng-(1–7) immunoreactivity in different stages and structures of the utero-placental unit. This expression (orange-brown) is depicted in giant cells (GC), syncytial streamers (S), labyrinth (LAB) and vascular smooth muscle (VSM) in myometrial artery of gestational days (G) 14, 20, 40 and 60 of the pregnant guinea-pig. (B) ACE2 immunoreactivity in different stages and structures of the utero-placental unit. This expression (orange-brown) is depicted in giant cells, syncytial streamers and vascular smooth muscle of myometrial artery of gestational days (G) 15, 20, 40 and 60 of the pregnant guinea-pig.
