We performed a morphological study of placentas from women with type 1 diabetes mellitus receiving insulin therapy (insulin pump). Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3) was demonstrated by immunohistochemical methods. Processes of branched angiogenesis predominated in the placentas from women with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Immunohistochemical study revealed more intensive reaction of VEGF and its receptors in syncytiotrophoblast and capillary endothelium of terminal villi.
