Figure 5.

Growth of 21OH/LacZ adrenal from E14.5 to P21. Semi-log plots of changes in estimated adrenal volume (estimated from separate measurements of adrenal length and width as described in the Materials and Methods) with age for (A) females and (B) males. 3–4 mice of each sex were analyzed from E17.5 to P21, but E14.5–E16.5 fetuses were not sexed and are included in both (A and B). The shaded area (P0–P7) is to highlight size changes during the period when the stripes emerge (Fig. 2). F, female; M, male.
