mTOR protein expression in placenta ST. Placenta of A, full-term control, B, pre-term control, C, preeclampsia, and D, intrauterine growth restriction-associated pregnancies were probed with antibodies recognizing total mTOR protein. (➢ Arrow denotes ns, nuclei syncytia. Size bar in A = 100 mM). E, Estimated mTOR IHC scoring data is presented in box and whiskar format to define minimum and maximun values (capped bars), 2^nd and 3^rd quartile (box) and median (line through box). Data was normalized to full term controls (mean set to 1, grey dashed line) (n = 10 each, * p < 0.05).
