Does chronic hypoxia increase fetoplacental vascular resistance in rat placenta perfused with blood?
Using blood for the perfusion of the isolated rat placenta does not confer any clear methodological advantage over using Krebs solution (Tab. 2, Fig. 2, Ref. 21).
Establishing the quantitative and qualitative RT-PCR tests in-house and adopting the reflexive testing protocol was cost-effective and did not compromise patient management or care.
