Figure 4Effect of gastrin deficiency on polyp proliferation rates. (
a) BrdU staining in 6-month old gastrin-deficient APC
min–/+ mice and (
b) control APC
min–/+ mice. (
c) Labeling indices were calculated by counting the number of immunopositive-staining cells as a percentage of the total number of cells in each polyp (
AP < 0.05) from both wild-type (filled bars) and gastrin-deficient mice (shaded bars).
