Diagrams of coronal sections showing the distribution of GLP-1R expressing cell bodies in the brains of GLP-1R-Cre mice. Filled circles represent the presence of YFP- or RFP-immunoreactive somata. The density of the filled circles indicates the relative density of the RFP-positive somata in each brain region. Drawings are based on the Paxinos Mouse Brain Atlas and numerical values next to each section indicate the rostro-caudal position in relation to Bregma.
