Serum Levels and Placental Expression of NGAL in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Figure 3

NGAL TNF-α protein expression levels in placental tissues and umbilical cord blood samples of the GDM and the control groups. (a) Representative western blot indicates the differences of NGAL and TNF-α protein expression levels in the placental tissues between the two groups; GAPDH served as an internal control. (b) Representative western blot indicates the differences of NGAL and TNF-α protein expression levels in umbilical cord samples between the two groups; GAPDH served as an internal control. (c) The bar chart indicates quantification of differences in NGAL protein expression levels among the two groups; . (d) The bar chart indicates quantification of differences in TNF-α protein expression levels among the two groups; .
