Mast Cells and Histamine: Do They Influence Placental Vascular Network and Development in Preeclampsia?

Table 2

Morphometric parameters analyzed in the study compared with Student’s 𝑡-test. V/EVT index: vascular/extravascular tissue index, MCD: mast cell density, and MMCA: mean mast cell area. The statistically significant results are in bold.
