 Chemiluminescent western blot analyses of control (1) and index (2) placentas. (A, B) Expression of total glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) was the same in both samples (A1, A2), whereas significantly increased expression of phospho-GSK-3β was found in the index placenta (B2) compared with the control placenta (B1). (C, D) The expression of total protein kinase B (Akt) was similar in both control and index placentas (C1, C2), whereas the expression of phospho-Akt was considerably higher in the index sample (D2) than in the normal placentas (D1). (E–G) Expression of (E) phospho-p38-mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), (F) stress activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and (G) p44/42 MAPK/extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 was greatly increased in the index placental tissue samples (E2, F2, G2) compared with controls (E1, F1, G1).
