Intracisternally Injected L-Proline Activates Hypothalamic Supraoptic, but Not Paraventricular, Vasopressin-Expressing Neurons in Conscious Rats

Figure 3

c-Fos-positive and vasopressin-positive neurons in the SON and the PVN following L-proline or ACSF injection. There were 10 L-proline-injected samples and eight negative control, ACSF-injected samples. “Fos + VP” indicates the number of vasopressin-expressing (VP) neurons with c-Fos stained nuclei. “Fos” indicates the total number of neurons with c-Fos stained nuclei. Data are presented as the means ± SE. ** by t-test. # and ## by the Wilcoxon rank sum non-parametric test.
