Postpartum effects of AT1-AA blockade in preeclampsia on blood pressure and heart weight. A blood pressure was measured by carotid catheter at 10-week postpartum in rats that underwent normal pregnancy (NP), RUPP-induced preeclampsia, or the RUPP procedure and treatment with ‘n7AAc’ to inhibit AT1 autoantibodies (AT1-AA). B hearts were extracted at 10-week postpartum and normalized to body weights (BW). Statistical comparisons between normal pregnant (NP) postpartum, RUPP postpartum, and RUPP + AT1-AA inhibition (‘n7AAc’) postpartum was analyzed by a one-way ANOVA with Bonferoni’s post hoc test. *p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant (n = 4–16)
