Cyp11a1L/L Mice Maintain Normal Litter Size
| Mating Pairs (Female × Male) | Litter Size |
|---|---|
| +/L × +/+ | 6.1 ± 2.6 (n = 17) |
| +/L × +/L | 6.1 ± 1.5 (n = 28) |
| L/L × +/− | 5.7 ± 1.7 (n = 34) |
| +/− × L/L | 5.7 ± 2.5 (n = 33) |
| −/L × −/L | 5.7 ± 1.7 (n = 10) |
| +/+ × +/+ | 6.2 ± 0.21 |
Mice carrying the mtP mutant allele (L) in the Cyp11a1 gene were mated with other alleles in all combinations, and their litter sizes were counted. Values are shown as the mean ± sd.
