Figure 1. Effect of maternal gestational weight gain on wound healing capacity of neonatal ECFCs using scratch assay.

Figure 1

ECFC isolated after pregnancies with GWG <13 kg versus >13 kg were compared. A–H, the confluent ECFC monolayer was scratched, and wound healing was observed over time. I–L, the width of the scratch at the beginning (I, 0 h) and in relation to it after 2 h (J), 4 h (K) and 6 h (L) was related to maternal gestational weight gain (unpaired t test, mean ± SD, n = 22). M, wound healing after 6 h correlated inversely with maternal gestational weight gain (Pearson, n = 22). Scale bar: 200 μm. GWG, gestational weight gain.
