Abstract:The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) was electron microscopically studied in diestrous (D) and estrous (E) mice, and mice ovariectomized (OX) 3 weeks before. In the middle region of the ARC (mARC), the number of dense core vesicles (DCVs) appearing in a section of each neuronal perikaryon was examined, and the location of the neurons containing DCVs was mapped. About 10% of the neurons in the mARC contained many (5 or more) DVCs in the perikarya in a section. These neurons mainly localized in the ventromedia… Show more
