  1. IUGR: Intrauterine growth restricted; CVSC: Chorionic villous stromal cells; VSMC: Vascular smooth muscle cells; VVEC: Villous vascular endothelial cells; ST: Syncytiotrophoblasts; CT; Cytotrophoblasts; EVT: Extravillous trophoblasts [Staining intensity of eNOS were scored as follows: 0 (negative), weak (1+), moderate (2+), and strong (3+)] *P: Statistical comparison of normal and IUGR placental tissues
