Figure 2
Placental samples collected after diabetes class C (group I) versus specimens obtained after normal pregnancy (group II): (a) the mean concentration of CX3CL1; (b) density of the microvessels estimated using the mean vascular/extravascular tissular index (V/EVTI); (c) the mean percentage expression of CX3CR1. The values obtained for normal pregnancy (; abstract numbers ± SEM) were taken as 100% (; ).
