Figure 2

(A) Bgn−/−Dcn−/− female mice display a statistically significant decrease in length of gestation compared to all other genotypes. P<0.001. Bgn+/+Dcn+/+ n=13; Bgn−/−Dcn+/+ n=33; Bgn+/+Dcn−/− n=11; Bgn+/−Dcn+/− n=13; Bgn+/−Dcn−/− n=14; Bgn−/−Dcn+/− n=20; Bgn−/−Dcn−/− n=7. Shading: range of normal length of pregnancy. (B) Number of mouse pups per litter surviving beyond 24 h of age. Bgn−/−Dcn−/− dams display a significantly decreased litter size at 24 h. P<0.001. Bgn+/+Dcn+/+ n=11; Bgn−/−Dcn+/+ n=17; Bgn+/+Dcn−/− n=32; Bgn+/−Dcn+/− n=54; Bgn+/−Dcn−/− n=34; Bgn−/−Dcn+/− n=19; Bgn−/−Dcn−/− n=7. Error bars = SEM. P = postnatal day. Bgn=biglycan; Dcn=decorin. One-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak contrast was performed for both sets of data.
