Expression | NP | PP | PP + Punica granatum | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
14 ppm | 28 ppm | 56 ppm | |||
AT1-R (% cells) | 6.72 ± 2.91 | 42.19 ± 15.63a | 39.78 ± 5.67a | 25.33 ± 7.57ab | 11.25 ± 3.31bc |
Note: values are presented as mean ± SD; a P < 0.05 in comparison with NP group; b P < 0.05 in comparison with PP group; c P < 0.05 in comparison with first dose (14 ppm) Punica granatum group; NP: plasma from normal pregnancy; PP: plasma from preeclamptic patients; ppm: part per million.
