TH- and PNMT-immunoreactive cells in the adrenal gland of E18.5 LIFRβ (+/+)
and LIFRβ (−/−) mice. Although the numbers of TH-positive cells
(A, B) do not seem
to be overtly altered, the numbers of PNMT-positive cells
(C, D) are clearly
reduced. am, Adrenal medulla; ac, adrenal cortex. Scale bars, 100 μm.
E, Quantification of TH- and PNMT-immunoreactive
cells in LIFRβ (+/+)- and LIFRβ-deficient mice. Although the numbers of
TH-positive cells are not altered, the numbers of PNMT-positive cells are reduced by
>50%. Data are given as mean ± SEM.
