Figure 1
Reduced litter size in AM+/– matings. The average number of viable offspring at postnatal day 21 and the average number of embryos at gestational day E14.5 were determined for wild-type matings (white bars) and AM+/– intercrosses (gray bars). The actual average number is recorded at the top of each bar, while the number at the bottom of the bar represents the number of litters examined for each cross. *P < 0.01 compared with wild-type crosses.
