FIGURE 2.

Nrk is required for placental development. A, control (XXNrk) and Nrk-null (XNrkXNrk) fetuses and placentas at 18.5 dpc. B and C, the weight of control (XY, XX, or XXNrk) and Nrk-null (XNrkY or XNrkXNrk) fetuses (B) and placentas (C) at 12.5–18.5 dpc. The mean ± S.D. are shown (n = 5 for 12.5 dpc, n > 15 for 14.5–18.5 dpc). p < 0.05 (*) and 0.005 (**). D, H&E staining of control (XXNrk) and Nrk-null (XNrkXNrk) placentas at 18.5 dpc at low (top) and high (bottom) magnification. D, decidual layer; S, spongiotrophoblast layer; L, labyrinth layer; G, glycogen cells in the spongiotrophoblast layer. The three layers are divided by broken and solid lines. Bars, 1 mm (top) and 200 μm (bottom).
