Figure 2From: Ontogeny of adrenal-like glucocorticoid synthesis pathway and of 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the mouse lungRelative expression of P450scc, 3β-HSD1, and 21-hydroxylase genes according to sex and age in the mouse developing lung. Relative expression values were determined by qPCR for P450scc (A), 3β-HSD1 (C), and 21-hydroxylase (E) in male and female pools of 3 litters for each age. The results are the mean of 2 PCR reactions (±SD). Then, the mean of expression (± SEM) for each sex and each age was calculated from the values presented in the histograms and the resulting curves are presented for P450scc (B), 3β-HSD1 (D), and 21-hydroxylase (F).Back to article page
