Protein expression of the membrane transporters ABCA1, SLC7A7 and SLC38A5 in total tissue lysates. ABCA1 (a; 250 kD), SLC7A7 (b; 56 kD), and SLC38A5 (c; 51 kD) protein expressions in total lysates were quantified from control and diseased placentas. Western blotting (upper panels) was performed with 90 μg total lysates from term (n = 4), preterm (n = 5), IUGR (n = 6), PE + IUGR (n = 6), and PE (n = 5) (upper panels). After overnight exposure, an immunoreactive signal was observed in all lanes at the expected size. Relative protein expression levels from western blotting results were then calculated as the densitometric ratio of target versus β-actin (43 kD; lower panels). Data are expressed as median ± range. Significance at p <  0.05 was assessed by a Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison
