Figure 3. Sexually dimorphic expression of Cckar and Irs4.

Figure 3

Cckar (A–P) and Irs4 (Q–X) mRNA expression in coronal sections.

(A–L) More Cckar mRNA in the male BNSTmpm, POA, and MeApd.

(M–P) More Cckar mRNA in the female VMHvl.

(Q–T) More Irs4 mRNA in the VMHvl of the female and castrate female.

(U–X) More Irs4 mRNA in the male PMV.

(Y, Z, A’–C’) Boxed areas in Nissl stained sections outline the BNST (Y), POA (Z), MeA (A’), VMHvl (B’), and PMV (C’), respectively. Scale bars = 50 µm.
