Figure 2. The long isoform of leptin receptor (LepR^b) was expressed in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)‐positive type I (glomus) cells and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)‐positive type II cells of the carotid bodies of LepR^b‐EGFP mice.

A, co‐localization of TH (red), GFAP (yellow) and LepR^b‐EGFP (green) in the carotid bodies (CB) and superior cervical ganglion (SCG). Upper panel: 20, scale bar = 20 μm; lower panel, 40×, scale bar = 50 μm. B, percentage of type I (TH‐positive cells) and type II (GFAP‐positive cells) cells in the carotid bodies. C, percentage of type I and type II cells expressing LepR^b (n = 5).
