Fig. 6. β-cell proliferation in β-Aldh1a3 KO_db/db.
A Co-immunostaining of NR5A2 (green), insulin (Red), GCG (White) and DAPI (blue) in db/+ (left), db/db (middle), or β-Aldh1a3 KO_db/db (right) pancreata. Scale bars: 100 μM. B Ratio of NR5A2-positive cells in INS+/GCG- β-cells. All data are expressed as means ± SEM. N = 14, 23 or 16 islets from 4 biologically independent samples per group. One-way ANOVA with multiple comparison test was used for statistical analysis. C Co-immunostaining of KI67 (green) and INS (white) in db/db or β-Aldh1a3 KO_db/db pancreata. Scale bars: 100 μM. D Ratio of KI67-positive cells to total islet cells (left) or INS+/GCG- cells (right). All data are expressed as means ± SEM. N = 18 or 24 islets from 4 biologically independent samples per group. Two-tailed paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
