Fig. 7. Effect of Cx43 deletion on the length of gestation. Pregnant mice were monitored for delivery of the first pup. Delivery until 8 a.m. was considered normal, delivery after 9 a.m. was classified as a prolonged birth process. (A) Percentages of normal and prolonged parturition of Cx43del/+ and untreated (ut.) as well as tamoxifen-treated (t.) Cx43fl/fl and Cx43fl/fl:SM-CreERT2 mice. (B) Untreated and tamoxifen-treated Cx43fl/fl:SM-CreERT2 animals are shown as the moving average of animals delivering at certain time points between day 19 and day 22.
