Figure 2

Leptin expression in human trophoblastic cells: Vehicle vs. CRH (1.0 μg/ml) stimulation. A significant (p < 0.05) increase in relative leptin gene expression was observed after 12 h in both groups. CRH treatment significantly (p < 0.05, circle) increased leptin expression above control levels after 48 h. Gene expression is related to the housekeeping gene HPRT. Displayed are means ± SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
