a, b Expression levels of LCHAD and MCAD in maternal tissues. Western blot analyses of LCHAD and MCAD protein levels were carried out in placenta (n = 12) and skeletal muscle (n = 12) from pregnant women. Frozen placental and skeletal muscle tissues were used to quantify placental LCHAD and MCAD content (see Methods for details). β-actin expression was determined to ensure similar protein loading. Top: the y-axis represents the relative protein expression levels of MCAD vs. LCHAD in arbitrary units (A.U.). Bottom: a representative picture of the western blot is shown. Data are means ± SEM for 12 independent experiments.*p < 0.05 relative to MCAD by unpaired Student’s t-test
