title: Expression of CART peptide in the paleoamygdala neurons and its relationship with sex hormone levels.
abstract: 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.
