Fig. 9. Sex differences in the distribution of delta opioid receptor (DOR) silver-intensified gold (SIG) particles in GABAergic hilar dendrites in saline-injected and oxycodone condition place preference rats.

Fig. 9.

A. Sal-females compared to Sal-males have a greater density of DOR-SIG particles on the plasmalemma (PM) in GABA-labeled dendrites. B. The partitioning ratio for DOR-SIG particles is increased near the plasmalemma (Near) in GABA-labeled dendrites in Sal-females compared to Sal-males. C-H. Density and partitioning ratios of DOR-SIG particles in subcellular compartments of GABA-labeled dendrites are shown. Oxy-females (OF) compared to Sal-females (SF) show increased density and partitioning ratio of DOR-SIG particles near the plasmalemma in GABA-labeled dendrites (D & H). Oxy-males (OM) compared to Sal-males (SM) show a decrease in DOR-SIG particle density in the cytoplasm of GABA-labeled dendrites (E). **p < 0.01, *p ≤ 0.05. N = 3 rats per group; n = 50 dendrites per rat.
