Impact of placental growth factor deficiency on early mouse implant site angiogenesis.

abstract：:Homogenates of first (10.1 +/- 1.0 weeks) and third trimester placental villi were analysed for free amino acid concentrations. As has been previously reported, several amino acids showed increased concentrations during early pregnancy when compared to term. In addition, marked differences were seen in the levels of e...
