C-Fos immunoreactivity and co-location with VGLUT3-labeled neurons in ARC

  Fos cells # VGLUT3 cells # VGLUT3+Fos cells # VGLUT3+Fos cells VGLUT3 cells (%) VGLUT3+Fos cells Fos cells (%)
Control (n=5) 26 ± 8 117 ± 8 9 ± 4 7 ± 2 33 ± 3
EA-treated (n=6) 90 ± 14* 123 ± 5 44 ± 7** 36 ± 5** 51 ± 2*

Means ± SE. Average total number (#) of c-Fos positive, VGLUT3-containing neurons and cells co-localized with both stains per section in ARC. ARC, arcuate nucleus; Fos, c-Fos; VGLUT3, Vesicular glutamate transporter 3; EA, electroacupuncture stimulation.
