Figure 7. Reduced gill responsivity to TH in hind limb phenotype tadpoles. Normal and hind limb (HL) mutant phenotype tadpoles were the same individuals as in Figure 6. Gills in mutant phenotype tadpoles (middle row) were compared with normal tadpoles of the same age (top row, age matched) or at the same stage (bottom row, stage matched). In the presence of T3, gill resorption in normal tadpoles (top and bottom rows) occurred to a greater extent than in mutant phenotype tadpoles (middle row) (the clear area seen in mutant phenotype tadpoles is larger than in normal tadpoles, near white brackets). Gill images were photographed with the same magnification. This experiment was repeated with a sample size of four to six with similar results. Image published in: Choi J et al.
