Figure 4. Maternal obesity and total protein yield in placental tissue.

Figure 4

Cytosolic and microsomal sub-cellular fractions were isolated using differential centrifugation. The protein concentrations were estimated using Bradford method. All placentas were obtained from non-smoking mothers with a BMI <30 (n=14) or BMI >30 (n=16). Each box represents inter quartile range with mean and median depicted as dotted and solid line, respectively. Whiskers represent 95% confidence interval. Statistical differences were tested using student’s t-test.
