TABLE 2.
Numbers of β-gal-IR cells, and % VGLUT1- or VGLUT2-specific expression, in rats sacrificed at 4 days after injection of pVGLUT1lac into either POR cortex or the VMH
VGLUT1 Neurons | VGLUT2 Neurons | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Injection Site |
Average β-gal-IR cells |
% VGLUT1-IR Costaining |
Average β-gal-IR cells |
% VGLUT2-IR costaining |
POR cortex | 132±22 | 93±1 | 147±19 | 11±1 |
VMH | 14±1 | 7±4 | 20±4 | 90±3 |
Four hemispheres were analyzed for each injection site; every 4th section was analyzed for either β-gal-IR and VGLUT1-IR or β-gal-IR and VGLUT2-IR; the values shown are mean±s.e.m.
