Expression of nitric oxide synthase by syncytiotrophoblast in human placental villi
1 Oct 1993
Abstract excerpt
The endogenous biosynthesis of nitric oxide (NO) is increased during gestation. To begin our investigation of a possible tissue source (or sources), we examined the placenta. We postulated that analogous to the endothelium of blood vessels, the syncytiotrophoblast (STr) cell layer that lines the intervillous blood space of the human placenta would express NO synthase. Our results show that human placental villi...
