Figure 3Effect of
Ttf1 gene deletion in one allele (
Ttf1+/–) on neurological and thyroid function of mice. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. (
a) Coordination was tested by the Rotarod test.
Ttf1+/– mice had significantly lower scores and, thus, worse coordination than wild-type littermates (+/+). (
b)
Ttf1+/– mice had significantly higher serum TSH values than did
Ttf1+/+ mice, but (
c) the T
4 concentration was not significantly different.
