LXA4 suppresses GC-mediated 11β-HSD2 expression and corticosterone production in experimental PE rats. Pregnant rats were treated according to Experimental protocol 2. (A) Effect of LXA4 on Dex-mediated placental 11β-HSD2 expression. 11β-HSD2 expression was detected by western blotting. The histogram represents means ± SEM of the densitometric scans for protein bands (n=7 rats in each group), normalized by comparison with β-Actin and expressed as a percentage of Control; (B) Effect of LXA4 on Dex-mediated placental corticosterone increase. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n=7 rats in each group). ***p < 0.001 versus control group, ††P < 0.01 versus Dex group, one-way ANOVA with S-N-K posttest.
