Figure 2. Sexual dimorphism in PR-expression in the adult brain.

Figure 2

Boxed areas in Nissl-stained coronal sections through the adult brain depict regions of PRPL/PLmice labeled for β-gal activity in the panels to the right.

(A–L) More PR+ cells in the female AVPV/POA, VMHvl, and arcuate nucleus.

(M–X) More PR+ cells in the male basal forebrain, BNSTmpm, and MeApd.

(Y) Representation of sexually dimorphic PR expression in different brain regions as projected on to a mid-sagittal section. c, caudal, d, dorsal, r, rostral, v, ventral.

Scale bars = 50 µm (C, K) and 100 µm (G, O, S, W). Inset scale bars = 25 µm.

Mean ± SEM; n ≥ 4/sex; *p < 0.04, **p < 0.01.
