FKBPL and Gal-3 are increased in the placentae and plasma of women with preeclampsia. Protein lysates were generated from placental tissue collected from women with preeclampsia or normotensive controls. a FKBPL expression was determined by Western Blotting and normalized to GAPDH, the loading control. b Gal-3 levels from placental lysates were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data were plotted as mean ± SD; n ≥ 6. c, d Plasma FKBPL and Gal-3 levels from women with preeclampsia vs normotensive controls were assessed by ELISA. Data plotted as mean ± SD; n ≥ 17; unpaired student’s t test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
