Table 4. Effect of concanamycin on the sidedness of the expression of Shh and Nodal left-side markers in chick.
Expression | Left | Right | Bilateral | None | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Gene | Treatment | n | % | n | % | n | % | n | % | χ2 | P |
Shh | Control | 17 | 100% | 0 | 0% | 0 | 0% | 0 | 0% | ||
Concanamycin | 15 | 33% | 3 | 7% | 17 | 38% | 10 | 22% | 19.370 | ≪0.001 | |

Concanamycin | 43 | 77% | 0 | 0% | 6 | 11% | 7 | 13% | 5.297 | 0.001 |
The laterality of expression of Shh and Nodal is significantly altered in chick embryos treated with the H+-V-ATPase inhibitors concanamycin or DCCD.
