Table 1.

Proportion of immuno-positive somatotroph, lactotroph, corticotroph, thyrotroph, and gonadotroph cells from male and female cort+/+ and cort−/− mice (n = 4 mice/genotype per gender)

	Males		Females
	cort+/+ (mean ± sem)	cort−/− (mean ± sem)	cort+/+ (mean ± sem)	cort−/− (mean ± sem)
Somatotrophs	55.92 ± 2.01	56.70 ± 2.10	44.70 ± 1.82	44.57 ± 1.16
Lactotrophs	18.62 ± 0.92	20.76 ± 1.29	21.35 ± 2.33	23.01 ± 1.19
Corticotrophs	11.41 ± 1.34	14.11 ± 2.24	9.85 ± 1.16	11.86 ± 1.40
Thyrotrophs	6.78 ± 0.65	6.64 ± 0.57	5.71 ± 0.46	5.76 ± 0.80
Gonadotrophs	8.10 ± 0.76	8.69 ± 0.94	6.72 ± 0.51	5.69 ± 0.22

Values represent the mean ± sem (three to four pictures/immunohistochemistry per genotype/mice), where the proportions shown were derived from counting more than 1000 cells/slide for each pituitary hormone tested.
