Figure 3

The total numbers of hypocretin‐1 (Hcrt‐1) and melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) immunoreactive (IR) neurons in the lateral hypothalamus of control subjects and Huntington disease (HD) patients. The total number of Hcrt‐1 IR neurons is significantly decreased in HD, while there is only a trend toward a reduction in the total number of MCH IR neurons (Mann–Whitney U‐test: n = 16, P = 0.015 for Hcrt‐1 and n = 11, P = 0.100 for MCH). Outliers (defined as data points which lie 1.5 times the interquartile range below the first or above the third quartile) are symbolized by “○.”
