Figure 3. Species differences in the density of TH-ir cells in brain areas.

Figure 3

(A) Species differences in the density of TH-ir cells in the anterior hypothalamus (AH), lateral hypothalamus (LH), medial preoptic area (MPOA), paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantianigra pars compacta (SNc). (B) Species differences in the density of TH-ir cells in the anterior (MPOAa), intermediate (MPOAi) and posterior (MPOAp) subnuclei of the MPOA. (C) Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) post hoc test indicated differences in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) between males and females of the two species (MG: Monglian gerbil; CH: Chinese striped hamster; M: male; F: female). Bars with different alphabetic letters differed significantly from each other. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01.
