Number of animals positive for islet-1 labeling out of the total number in the group.
Represents the total number of cells counted in a given heart.
Number of cells in a specific localization: RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium; IAS, interauricular septum; IVS, interventricular septum. The levels are normalized relatively to the height of the heart, from base to apex.
