Fig. 3. Compliance (CA) in CON, LAL and VAL embryos at HH21
(P<0.01), HH24 (P<0.01) and HH27 (P<0.01)
embryos. CA immediately decreased in both LAL and VAL
embryos after ligation. CA normalized by HH24 in LAL
embryos but remained significantly low in VAL embryos through HH27. Symbols
and abbreviations described in Fig.
