Figure 3

A, The dose response curves demonstrate the increase in umbilical artery tone due to cumulative increasing tissue bath concentrations 5-HT [1 nmol – 10 μmol] on vessels from women of normal BMI (red closed squares) compared with vessels from obese women (blue closed triangles). Asterixes signify those concentrations at which test contractility seen in a test sample is statistically significant compared with a control (p < 0.05). B, The dose response curves demonstrate the increase in umbilical artery tone due to cumulative increasing tissue bath concentrations PgF2α [1 nmol – 10 μmol] on vessels from women of normal BMI (red closed squares) compared with vessels from obese women (blue closed triangles). Asterixes signify those concentrations at which test contractility seen in a test sample is statistically significant compared with a control (p < 0.05).
