|---|---|---|---|---|
| TUNEL-positive nuclei | n | TUNEL-positive nuclei | n | |
| 1.5-fold | 5.7 ± 2.0 | 17 | 23.4 ± 3.8 | 11 |
| 2-fold | 6.2 ± 1.6 | 42 | 25.8 ± 2.4 | 39 |

Control nuc-1(e1392am) embryos or nuc-1(e1392am) embryos in which matefin/SUN-1 was down-regulated were costained for TUNEL. Average ± SEM of TUNEL-positive nuclei are presented. n, number of examined embryos.
