Cornea Cell Diffusion Coefficients: 10-Week-Old Mice

Genotype	Cell Type
	Superficial Squamous Cell	Middle Wing Cell	Inner Basal Cell
VDR+/+	18.71 ± 1.98	9.81 ± 2.86	5.60 ± 0.66
VDR+/−	14.89 ± 2.5* (P < 0.05)	7.85 ± 0.97	6.88 ± 1.58
VDR−/−	10.90 ± 2.20† (P < 0.01)	9.55 ± 1.43	6.72 ± 1.75

Data represent 102 superficial squamous cells, 56 middle wing cells, and 85 inner basal cells from 10 corneas of 5 VDR^+/+ mice; 73 superficial squamous cells, 86 middle wing cells, and 66 inner basal cells from 10 corneas of 5 VDR^+/− mice; and 110 superficial squamous cells, 67 middle wing cells, and 96 inner basal cells from 10 corneas of 5 VDR^−/− mice.

^*P < 0.05 VDR^+/− versus VDR^+/+ superficial squamous cells.

^†P < 0.01 VDR^−/− versus VDR^+/+ superficial squamous cells.
