Figure 7

Quantitative evaluation of 17βHSD2 protein expression in immature intermediate villi (IIV) and stem villi (SV) of human mid-gestation placentas and from terminal villi (TV) and stem villi (SV) of human term placentas. Twenty-three IIV and 17 SV structures were analysed from 13 mid-gestation placentas, while 10 TV and 9 SV structures were analysed from 5 term placentas. Quantification of immunohistochemical stainings was performed using a Zeiss Axioskop 2 plus miscroscope linked to a digital camera (Spot Insight; Carsen Medical Scientific, Markham, ON, Canada) using Image Pro software analysis (Carsen Medical Scientific). *: p < 0.001.
