For each region, the upper numberA indicates the number of marker-positive neurons in the GpBAR1-positive population (i.e. in duodenum, of 126 cells expressing GpBAR1, 126 expressed PGP9.5), and the lower numberB indicates the number of GpBAR1-positive cells in the marker-positive population (i.e. in duodenum, of 295 cells expressing PGP9.5, 126 expressed GpBAR1). For all regions, n≥3 mice.
