Phenotypic characteristics of the MCA in pregnant rats. The inner and outer diameter (μm), wall thickness (μm), and wall to lumen ratio of the MCA are examined in pregnant rats. Comparisons made using a two-tailed independent t-test. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM; p values are provided to demonstrate confidence.

Characteristics	Control (n = 6)	IL-17 (n = 6)	p values
Inner diameter (μm)	108.84 ± 6.83	120.09 ± 4.3	0.19
Outer diameter (μm)	129.18 ± 6.7	137.81 ± 4.2	0.29
Wall thickness (μm)	20.34 ± 1.09	17.72 ± 0.78	0.08
Wall-to-lumen ratio	0.18 ± 0.02	0.15 ± 0.02	0.26
