Figure 1

Localisation of MCT1 and MCT4 in rat placenta at four different ages during gestation. The staining of rat placenta with antibodies to (a–d) MCT1 and (e–h) MCT4 is shown for (a, e) GD 11; (b, f) GD 14; (c, g) GD 18; and (d, h) GD 20. Maternal blood vessels and cells are indicated with stars (★) and foetal blood vessels and cells are indicated with arrow heads (▸). Original objective 40x, bar 15 μm.
