Effect of obesity on placental nitric oxide (NO) generation and mitochondrial nitrative stress. A. NO generation was measured as Total nitrate/nitrite levels (pmol/mg protein) in lean and obese women. Values are mean ± SEM. (* = p<0.05 vs lean, a = p<0.05 vs obese male, n=5). B. Western analysis of placental mitochondrial nitrotyrosine (3-NT) residues. Density for each band was normalized to its loading control (VDAC). Values are mean ± SEM. (* = p<0.05 vs lean, a = p<0.05 vs lean female, b = p<0.05 vs lean male).
