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.
