Inflammatory cytokine and TLR4 expression in placenta of lean and obese women. (a–c) IL6 (a), IL8 (b) and TLR4 (c) mRNA expression in placental tissue from lean (n=20) and obese (n=19) women was measured by qPCR. Results were normalised to β-actin and presented as fold change of obese vs lean group. (d) TLR4 protein in placental tissue was measured by western blot. Results were normalised to β-actin, n=8. AU, arbitrary units. Data are shown as means±SEM; *p<0.05 obese vs lean
