Neuroanatomical assessment of Oxt cells in the PVN of adult female Oxt-Cre+; PtenloxP; Ai14+ mice. (A) Representative images of control (Oxt-Cre+; Pten+/+; Ai14+) and Oxt-Cre+; PtenloxP/loxP; Ai14+ PVN with tdTomato (red) expressed in cells in which Oxt-Cre has been active, stained with DAPI (blue). (B,C) Enlargements showing increased cell size (green square, B) and the presence of projections in the region lateral to the PVN (yellow square, C) in control and Oxt-Cre+; PtenloxP/loxP; Ai14+ mice. Scale bars: 200 μm (A), 20 μm (B), 50 μm (C).
