Number of motoneurons in agrin null mutant mice (agrin−/−) and their wild-type and heterozygous (control) littermates
| Control | Agrin−/− | % increase | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trochlear | 215 ± 12 (11) | 271 ± 13 (7)1-160 | 26 |
| Trigeminal motor | 1073 ± 37 (9) | 1339 ± 58 (6)1-160 | 25 |
| Facial | 4490 ± 200 (5) | 4734 ± 89 (5) | 5 |
| Hypoglossal | 2024 ± 79 (2) | 2412 ± 98 (3) | 19 |
Control and agrin−/− values are the average ± SEM. The values in parentheses indicate the number of animals examined (
↵F1-160 p < 0.01). Percentages (%) refer to the increase in the number of motoneurons with respect to the controls.
