Figure 5. DMH-NPY projections to the LH in lactating rats.

Figure 5

(A) 20x confocal image showing BDA (magenta) and NPY (green) fiber distribution in the LH. (B) BDA fiber distribution in 40x confocal image. Arrows indicate the co-localized fiber. (C) NPY fiber distribution in 40x confocal image. (D) Overlay 40x confocal image showing BDA/NPY co-localized fiber indicated by arrows. Schematic drawing showing the distribution of BDA fibers co-localized with NPY in the LH of lactating (E) and cycling (F) rats. Projections from 3 different cases with injections limited to the DMH are represented in different colors (red, blue and black).
