Figure 5. 20β-HSD type 2 morphants display developmental abnormalities upon cortisol treatment.

Figure 5

Animals are presented from a lateral view, with the anterior end at left. Representative specimens of the ‘mild’ and the ‘severe’ phenotype of the cortisol-treated 20β-HSD type 2 morphants are shown. (A) Embryos at 48 hpf and (B) at 72 hpf. Black arrows point to yolk deformations, white arrows point to altered somitogenesis resulting in kinked or truncated tails, and the asterisk denotes pericardial edema. WT-wild-type; MO-morpholino; C-control morpholino. Magnification 5x.
