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.
P < 0.05 middle wing cell versus superficial squamous cell for all genotypes.
P < 0.01 inner basal cell versus superficial squamous cell for all genotypes.
