Figure 3. Effects of Natural Killer (NK) Cell Adoptive Transfer on, Maternal Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), and Fetal and Placental Weight.
On Gestation Day (GD) 14, vehicle or 5×106 Reduced Uterine Perfusion Pressure (RUPP) NKs were infused i.v. into a subset of Sham rats and vehicle or 5×106 Sham NKs were infused i.v. into a subset of RUPP rats. On GD19 (A) conscious mean arterial pressure was measured, and (B) fetal and (C) placental weights were recorded under isoflurane anesthesia. Sham: n=12, RUPP: n=12, Sham+RUPP NK: n=12, RUPP+Sham NK: n=12. All data are expressed as mean± SEM. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. *p<0.05 versus Sham; #p<0.05 vs RUPP.
