Effect of sodium ferulate on placental P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression, placental, and fetal serum corticosterone levels. A Representative photomicrographs of immunofluorescence for P-gp in female and male placenta (200×); B relative mean fluorescence intensity value of P-gp, n=3; C, D relative mRNA expression levels of ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B, member 1a (abcb1a) and abcb1b, n=8–10; E, F Placental and fetal serum corticosterone levels, n=8–10. Mean ± S.E.M. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. control; #P<0.05, ##P<0.05 vs. caffeine
