Fractal dimensions and branching characteristics of placental chorionic surface arteries
Abstract:
We present a novel approach to characterize and compare the placental chorionic surface arteries (PCSA) of normal, preterm, diabetic and preeclamptic pregnancies using their fractal dimension (FD) and branch point number (BPN). Mean FD of PCSA of normal pregnancies was similar to those of diabetic and preeclamptic pregnancies, but significantly different from those of preterm pregnancies. In contrast, the BPN of PCSA of normal and preterm pregnancies was similar but significantly different from diabetic and preeclamptic pregnancies. The results suggest that branching properties of normal and pathological pregnancies are intrinsically different.

Gonadal and Placental Hormones
In males, testosterone is the primary gonadal androgen. It plays a central role in the maturation of male reproductive organs — the penis and testes. Additionally, testosterone is instrumental in the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a deep voice as well as facial and pubic hair...
