Table 2 Comparison of the mass fraction assessment of CgA and CST proteins between the study and control group

From: Chromogranin A demonstrates higher expression in preeclamptic placentas than in normal pregnancy

  1. *The mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated for the result of mass fraction assessment as follows: **CgA [pg] per 100μg of total protein fraction isolated from placenta or CST [ng] per100 μg of total protein isolated from placenta
  2. aanalysis was performed using Box-Cox Transformation
  3. bp-value calculated using Student’s t-test; p < 0.05 was considered as significant
