Note in both sexes extensive co-localization of CB+ neurons with PV and the lack of co-expression of these cells with CR. Note also extensive co-localization of SOM+ neurons with AR and the lack of assotiations of these cells with ERβ. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). As CB+ neurons almost never co-express CR and SOM+ neurons are devoid of ERβ only the counts concerning relationships of CB+ neurons with PV and SOM+ cells with AR were statistically evaluated by the two-tailed t test (* p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01 and *** p ≤ 0.001)
