Figure 6Gshows LHR immunostaining of syncytium (black asterisk) and lack of vascular LHR (white arrowhead), resembling immature chorionic villi (immature placental phenotypes, characteristic for intrauterine growth retardation and maternal diabetes [ 52 ] - note lack of dilatation of villous sinusoids).
