Effect of statins on heme-oxygenase 1 mRNA expression. a Simvastatin (0, 5 μM), rosuvastatin (0, 5 μM) and Pravastatin (0, 200 μM) up-regulated heme-oxygenase 1 expression by HUVECs. b Simvastatin 100 μM up-regulated heme-oxygenase 1 in preeclamptic placental explants, whist pravastatin 2000 μM and rosuvastatin 100 μM had no significant effect. Data represents n = 3–4 separate experiments and is expressed as mean ± SEM. Dark blue bars = control, light blue bars = statin treatments. a = p < 0.05, c = p < 0.001, d = p < 0.0001
