Changes in placental tissue inflammation. (a) ELISA applied to detect LPS concentration. (b) Western blot used to measure TLR4 content. (c) TUNEL staining performed to observe placental villi apoptosis (TUNEL, ×400, scale bar = 25 μm). (d)-(e) Western blot applied to measure BCL-2 and caspase-3 proteins expression. P < 0.05 vs. the control group.
