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

Table 3

The indexes of correlation between histamine concentration and morphometric parameters of mast cells and V/EVT index in each group. V/EVT index: vascular/extravascular tissue index, MCD: mast cell density, MMCA: mean mast cell area. The statistically significant results are in bold.
