N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment partially resolves high-fat diet (HFD)–induced inflammation of the decidua. No evidence of inflammation in decidua of vehicle control (CtrlVeh) (A) or NAC control (CtrlNAC) (B) placentas. Significant inflammation in decidua of vehicle HFD (HFDVeh) dams (clusters of inflammatory cells indicated by arrows) (C), which is partially resolved with NAC treatment (D). n = 18 per group. Scale bars = 50 μm. Original magnification, ×400. D, decidua; J, junctional zone.
