Nrf2 expression in the nucleus (a) and ARE activity (b). HUVECs were incubated with 10% (v/v) plasma samples from pregnant women who subsequently developed preeclampsia (cases) and who remained healthy during gestation (controls) (n = 6 per group) for 24 h in the absence (−R) or presence of trans-resveratrol (+R) at 1 μM. Resveratrol increased Nrf2 expression and ARE activity only in the control group. DMSO was used as a vehicle for trans-resveratrol. Values are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M. #p ≤ 0.05 vs. respective group –R
