Data were obtained from four non-pregnant animals receiving both saline and LPS injections; doses of saline and LPS were the same as the doses administered to pregnant rats.
Data are represented as mean and (range) of MAP changes from baseline; baseline was calculated for each rat using the mean MAP recorded over the 2-d before the initiation of each treatment.
P < 0.01 compared with the corresponding day of saline treatment.
