Figure 4. Paired comparison of the glomerular number assessed by the Weibel-Gomez method and the fractionator/dissector method within the same mouse.

Figure 4

In developing mouse kidneys, the glomerular number counted by Weibel-Gomez method was significantly lower than that by the fractionator/dissector method at postnatal days 7, 10, and 14 (all p<0.05), but similar after postnatal day 18. Postnatal days 7 (A), 10 (B), 14 (C), 18 (D), 21 (E), and 25-28 (F). W-G, by the Weibel-Gomez method; F/D, by the fractionator/disector method.
