Fig. 7. Gross inspection of decidua-placental compartments from wild-type and
Dprp-null pregnant mice exposed to hypobaric hypoxia. Wild-type
(+/+) and Dprp-null (-/-) pregnant mice were exposed to the
equivalent of 11% oxygen from days 5.5 to 11.5 of gestation. Mice were
sacrificed on day 11.5 of gestation and uteroplacental compartments were
dissected. The locations of hemorrhagic regions are encircled (yellow broken
line) within the dissected uteroplacental compartments. Note the presence of
prominent hemorrhagic areas in the Dprp-null (-/-) tissues.
