MLB decreased MAP and urine proteins. (a) MAP recorded from day 15 to day 21 of pregnancy (n = 10). (b) The contents of 24 h urine proteins measured from day 15 to day 21 of pregnancy (n = 10).  < 0.05,  < 0.01, and  < 0.001 vs. control.  < 0.05,  < 0.01, and  < 0.001 vs. PIH.  < 0.05 and  < 0.001 vs. MLB 5 mg/kg. MAP, mean arterial blood pressure; MLB, magnesium lithospermate B; PIH, pregnancy-induced hypertension.
