VDR+/+ 14.21 ± 1.18 9.05 ± 3.72* (P < 0.05) 6.98 ± 2.29† (P < 0.01)
VDR+/− 12.99 ± 1.36 9.87 ± 1.58* (P < 0.05) 7.93 ± 2.54† (P < 0.01)

Data represent 93 superficial squamous cells, 64 middle wing cells, and 101 inner basal cells from 10 corneas of 5 VDR+/+ mice; 119 superficial squamous cells, 44 middle wing cells, and 111 inner basal cells from 10 corneas of 5 VDR+/− mice; and 88 superficial squamous cells, 74 middle wing cells, and 76 inner basal cells from 10 corneas of 5 VDR−/− mice.
