Figure 7. Adenogenesis and uterine growth are disrupted in the juvenile Kiss1−/− mouse.
Transverse uterine sections from juvenile (3 weeks old) 129S1/SvImJ Kiss1−/− (A,C) and WT littermates (B,D) were analyzed for FOXA2-positive endometrial glands and uterine size. Sections shown in (A,B) were analyzed using the anti-FOXA2 antibody at a concentration of 1.8 μg IgG/ml. while those in (C,D) were analyzed using anti-FOXA2 antibody at a concentration of 0.18 μg IgG/ml. Glands were quantified and uterine growth was determined by measuring the average area (μ2) of a transverse uterine section (excluding the uterine lumen) per uterine horn; data are displayed graphically (E,F). M: mesometrial; AM: anti-mesometrial. The number of independent investigations is reported in the figure and the data are shown as mean ± SEM.
