Basal and lipopolysaccahride (LPS) stimulated TNFα (pg/ml/µgDNA) secreted by maternal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) adipocytes and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) adipocytes in control pregnancy (n=13) and in pregnancies complicated by PE (n=13) is shown. Means and standard deviations are presented. *P<0.05 basal versus LPS stimulated TNFα release analyzed by paired t-test on square root transformed data.
