Placental expression of OPG in pregnant adolescents. Protein lysates were generated from homogenized placental tissue samples collected from 68 pregnant adolescents at delivery, and OPG expression was analyzed via western blot. Placental OPG expression was not related to maternal OPG at mid-gestation (P = 0.98, n = 59) or at delivery (P = 0.15, n = 62). Shown is a representative western blot with individual placental lysate samples in lanes 1–7.
