Expression of CART peptide in the paleoamygdala neurons and its relationship with sex hormone levels.
The location of CART peptide in the paleoamygdala neurons was studied by immunocytochemical reaction. Significant differences in the number of immunoreactive cells and optical density of CART-positive neurons detected over the course of the estrous cycle indicate modulating effects of sex steroids on the expression of CART peptide.
