Quantification of the complete KNDy population in vehicle- and estradiol-treated ovariectomized rats. (A) Diagram of the dorsal to ventral (d/v) division of the arcuate nucleus (ARC) (coronal plane) by 200 µm intervals. (F) The percentage of KNDy cells located in the d/v intervals of the ARC in OVX + VEH and OVX + E2 rats. (G) The number of KNDy neurons in the rostral-caudal and ventral-dorsal regions of the ARC in OVX + VEH and OVX + E2 rats. The total number of Kp + NKB (KNDy) cells in the mARN and cARN is significantly decreased in OVX + E2 rats compared to OVX + VEH rats. n = 4/group. *p < 0.05.
