Quercetin inhibited ET-1, ETAR expression in placenta tissue of RUPP rats at day 21 of gestation. Western blotting was used to analyze ET-1 and ETAR expression (a) and relative protein levels were quantified (b, c). Relative mRNA levels of preproET-1 (d) and ETAR (e) were detected by qRT-PCR. GAPDH was used as the internal control. n = 6 for each group. Data were shown as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the Control group; &P < 0.05 compared with the RUPP group. One-way ANOVA with a Tukey’s post hoc test
