(A) Serum levels of Apelin detectable in non-pregnant female mouse serum (NP) and at gestational days (GD) 9, 12 and 18 in animal receiving control (closed circles, black bars) or LP diet (open circles, grey bars) in early life. (B) Expression levels of mRNA for Apelin, Aplnr and Apela in placenta from (C) (black bars) or LP-exposed (grey bars) pregnant mice on GD 12 and 18; and (C) expression levels of TNFα, IL-1β and IL-6 in placenta at the same gestational ages. Values represent mean ± SEM (n = 4–6). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. control or between days.
