Figure 14

Transverse H&E sections of oil- and DES-treated penises as indicated harvested at 60-days postnatal (top row, A–F) or at P10 (G–J), P15 (K) or P20 (L) (bottom row) at the level of the MUMP cartilage (denoted by “C”) and MUMP corpora cavernosa (MUMP CC). Note the inhibition of MUMP cartilage and the MUMP corpora cavernosa at day 10 in the DES P0-P10 (I) and DES E12-P10 (J) groups results in an absence of MUMP cartilage differentiation at day 60 postpartum (C & D). In contrast, inhibition of MUMP cartilage at day 15 in the DES P5-P15 group (K) leads to MUMP cartilage recovery at 60 days postpartum (E). MUMP cartilage and the MUMP corpora cavernosa were normal at both day 10 and at day 60 in the oil-treated group (A & G) and in the DES E12-E18 (B & H) and DES P10-P20 groups (F & L). All images are at the same magnification.
