Figure 4 Protein and mRNA levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in placentas from the control and cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) groups. (A) Protein expression (western blotting) of iNOS in placental tissues. (B) Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed different mRNA levels of iNOS in placental tissue from the 2 groups (* P<0.05). (C) Quantitation of western blotting (mean±SD). Western blotting showed iNOS protein levels in placental tissue from the 2 groups (* P<0.05).
