Outside the NTS, HSD2-immunoreactive cells in the adult rat brain exist in the SCO (A) and in the caudal VMHvl (B). All the columnar ependymal (nonneuronal) cells of the SCO are consistently and intensely immunoreactive for HSD2, whereas the VMHvl contains weaker immunoreactivity in a small subgroup of neurons. Scale bar, 200 μm. [Reproduced with permission from Geerling et al. (55).]
