Detection of Oxytocin Receptor (OT-R) in chorionic villi of placentas of normotensive Ho-71, and preeclamptic Ho-73 patients. A Top IGEM micrograph: Villus capillary from Ho-71. P: pericyte adjacent to the endothelial cell (EC), L: lumen. White arrow shows cluster of OT-R on P. Bottom: enlargement shows OT-R in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytoplasm projections of EC into the lumen. (arrows). B Top micrograph: Partial view of villus capillary from Ho73, E: RBC, S: stroma. Bottom graph shows EC junction (J) and OT-R clusters on J, EC cytoplasm, and lumen (arrow). C OT-R is seen in the nucleus of an EC from Ho-73.The gold particle diameter is 10 nm
