Sexually dimorphic placental inflammation after prenatal maternal LPS infection

Results of RT-qPCR analysis of inflammatory cytokines (A–D) and chemokines (E–G) after administration of LPS (400 µg/kg) for 4 h in female and male placentas. All data were obtained from triplicate experiments, and differences are represented as the mean ± standard error of mean (SEM). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared with the PBS-treated female or male using the two-way anova
