Morphometric analysis of placentomes from control and FTY720 treated ewes. a) Branching of caruncular crypts. The panel compares the mean ± SE for the number of primary (white bars), secondary (pale orange bars), and tertiary (dark orange bars) caruncular crypts per unit in samples of placentome tissue from control and FTY720 treated ewes (* P < 0.05) b) Cotyledonary area per unit of placentome tissue. The fig. Compares the mean ± SE cotyledonary area per unit of placentome tissue from control (orange bars) and FTY720 (white bars) treated ewes (* P < 0.05). c) Caruncular capsule thickness. The panel compares the mean ± SE for caruncular capsule thickness in placentomes from control (orange bars) and FTY720 (white bars) treated ewes (* P < 0.05). d) Caruncular stromal area per unit of placentome tissue. The panel compares the mean ± SE area of caruncular stromal tissue in samples of placentome tissue from control (orange bars) and FTY720 (white bars) treated ewes. Measurements were recorded from the deep (capsule side; Caruncle), middle, and shallow (fetal side; Cotyledon) areas of placentomes e) Length of syncytial epithelium. The panel compares the mean ± SE length of syncytial epithelium in samples of placentome tissue from control (orange bars) and FTY720 (white bars) treated ewes. Measurements were recorded from the deep (capsule side; Caruncle), middle, and shallow (fetal side; Cotyledon) areas of placentomes
