Biochemical analysis of basal intravascular [Ca2+]i in vessels from male (n = 10) and female (n = 10) term pregnancies, male (n = 7) and female (n = 7) preterm pregnancies and male and female preterm pregnancies exposed to MgSO4 (0.2 mmol/l). Data was analysed using a repeated measures three-way ANOVA using treatment × term × sex as the main factors. *Denotes P < 0.05 between male and female preterm; **denotes P < 0.01 between male preterm and all other groups following post hoc analysis. All data are presented as means ± SEM
