PPAR Action in Human Placental Development and Pregnancy and Its Complications

Figure 2

PPARγ activation is present throughout the course of normal pregnancy. All serum samples were collected from the same subject and PPRE-luciferase reporter experiments were performed using 10% serum as described in Figure 1. Luciferase activity was normalized to DCSS to determine relative activation. Black horizontal bar represents the level of signaling seen with 10% serum from the same woman six weeks after delivery.
