Figure 4

Western blot analysis of guinea-pig placental homogenates for tissue kallikrein (K1). A, Representative blot at days 20, 40 and 60 of pregnancy. Purified rat K1 (rK1) was detected as a broad band with an approximate molecular weight of 31 kDa. B, Densitometric analysis of K1 expression in five placental homogenates for each period. Data is expressed with respect to the average densitometry at day 20. *, P < 0.05 for 60 vs. 40 days; ***, P < 0.001 for 40 vs. 20 days. DSCF posthoc comparisons after Kruskal-Wallis test.
