Figure 5. In vivo effects of AG on NOS activity in placental tissues.

Pregnant rats were injected with 0.5 ml of sStx2 (0.7 ng Stx2/g body wt) on day 15 of gestation and killed 12 h post injection. One group was treated with AG (100 µg/g body wt) 24 h before and 4 h after sStx2 administration. Another was treated only with AG (control AG). Control rats were treated with PBS 24 h before and 4 h after administration of 0.5 ml of sControl. Values are the mean ± SEM (n = 4). ^*P<0.001 vs other experimental conditions.
