Cumulative frequency of maternal pup interaction from post-partum days 3 to 7 was evaluated. Pup/licking-grooming (A), neglecting behavior (B), nursing (C) and self-maintenance behavior (D) were evaluated during both the light and dark period, and data were combined. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test and presented as mean ± SEM (n = 11–13 dams/group). * denotes p < 0.05 in comparison to the indicated group. Abbreviations: NP (normal pregnant); PreE (preeclampsia); HELLP (hemolysis elevated liver enzyme low platelet).
