Figure 3. T-cell suppression during pregnancy prevents sPE/HELLP-induced hypertension in the post-partum period.

Figure 3.

sPE/HELLP rats have significantly increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) (A), but not hemolysis (B) in the post-partum period compared to NP and sPE/HELLP+Orencia rats. Post-partum sPE/HELLP rats have significantly increased liver enzymes (C) compared to both post-partum NP and sPE/HELLP+Orencia rats, however there were no statistically significant changes in platelet levels between the groups (D). ≠ denotes p<0.05 between NP and sPE/HELLP; * , ** denotes p<0.05, p<0.005 between sPE/HELLP and sPE/HELLP+Orencia rats; a denotes p<0.05 between NP and sPE/HELLP+Orencia rats; n=16/group for MAP; n=11/group/biochemical measurements.
