From: Sex and interspecies differences in ESR2-expressing cell distributions in mouse and rat brains
Distribution of ESR2+ cells in mouse and rat hypothalami and its sex differences. Representative photomicrographs of ESR2- and Nissl-stained brain sections containing the PVN of mice (A) and rats (C), the circular nucleus of mice (E) and rats (G), and the SON of mice (I) and rats (J). The dashed line in each panel indicates the region of interest. The insets of panel E and G show high-magnification views of the circular nucleus and are indicated by the small frames. 3 V, third ventricle; f, fornix; opt, optic tract. Scale bars = 10 µm in the inset of Panel G and 100 µm in all other images. The numbers of ESR2+ cells in the PVN of mice (B) and rats (D), the circular nucleus of mice (F) and rats (H), and the SON of rats (K). Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 4). Black dots represent individual data
