OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the gene expression of vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in placental cotyledon, chorion, and amnion of the ovine …

Objectives: Vascularity of the surface of the placenta in humans and of the placenta and fetal
membranes in several species including sheep is an important determinant of …

To further understand the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in mediating
angiogenesis and vascular permeability during development in the sheep placenta and fetal …

To examine the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in mediating angiogenesis
and vascular permeability during fetal development, we determined the gene expression of …

Implantation and growth of the placenta requires extensive angiogenesis to establish the
vascular structures involved in exchange. Failure to establish adequate blood supply to the …

To understand the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in placental
development, we examined immunohistochemically 56 placentae ranging from 6–41-weeks …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelial cell mitogen with potent
permeability properties. This growth factor exists in several isoforms; the most abundant form …

Reverse transcription and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA in human placental tissue and cultured …

Normal development and function of the placenta requires invasion of the maternal decidua
by trophoblasts, followed by abundant and organized vascular growth. Little is known of the …

Interactions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with its receptors VEGFR-1 and
VEGFR-2 promoting angiogenesis have been described in placentation of human, mink and …
