Fig. 6 The endocrine pancreas in nkx2.2a-morphant embryos. Ventral views. (A–C, E–G) 32 hpf. (D, H) 48 hpf. Pancreatic hormone expression in control embryos (A–D) and representative MOnk-5UTR injected embryos (E–H). (A, E) Insulin, (B, F) somatostatin, (C, G) glucagon, (D, H) ghrelin. Using ImageJ software we could calculate that insulin expression in panel E is 52% less than control (A), while glucagon expression in panel G is 43% less than control (H). In panel H, ghrelin expression levels are 60% more than control (D).
