Initiation of metamorphosis among MCT8 genotypes. To detect an effect of MCT8 on the initiation of metamorphosis, we examined start of limb outgrowth (NF 54) with respect to tadpole size. 79 tadpoles were measured for snout-vent length (SVL) and staged according to Nieuwkoop and Faber (NF) at 21 days post fertilization followed by genotyping. We compared (A) hindlimb length normalized to SVL and (B) NF stage among genotypes. Means and standard error for each genotype are shown, n = 14 for wild-type (WT, LLss), 53 for heterozygous (Het, Llss), 12 for homozygous MCT8 knockout (MCT8KO, llss). No statistical differences were found using one-way ANOVA, p < 0.5.
