The percentage of GABAergic and/or glutamatergic markers present in POMC cells with SEM, as well as the label used to detect each marker (mRNA or the fluorescent reporter, EGFP/GFP). The number of animals used in each experiment is provided, as well as the average number of cells counted per animal per experiment with SEM.
