The mean signal intensity of dihydroethidium (DHE) was measured from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to conditioned media from normal pregnant and preeclamptic women (A) and conditioned media from normal pregnant or reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) rats (F). Representative photomicrographs of DHE staining in HUVECs; B-E from humans and G-J of rats where pictures on the left correspond with normal pregnant and pictures on the left with preeclamptic or RUPP. Data is expressed as mean±standard error mean. *p<0.05, **p<0.005, compared to normal pregnant rats.
