From: Experimental preeclampsia in rats affects vascular gene expression patterns
Contractility of aortic rings (isotonic displacement (microns)) after KCl (60 mM) incubation of 10 minutes. Aorta rings of Experimental Preeclamptic animals (ExpPE) had a significantly decreased response to KCl compared to healthy Pregnant (Pr) animal aorta rings. Non-Pregnant animals treated with LPS (NPr + LPS) did not differ in contractile aortic response after KCL incubation compared to Non-Pregnant animals without LPS treatment (NPr). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05.
