Abstract excerpt
The medial preoptic area (mPOA) of the hypothalamus contains many neurons that express estrogen receptor alpha (ER) and/or ERbeta. We examined the distribution of these receptors and assessed responses to estradiol (E2) in the adult mouse mPOA. Gonadectomized adult male and female mice were killed, and brains were processed for immunocytochemistry for ERalpha and ERbeta. More ERalpha immunoreactive (-ir) than...
