Distribution of Estrogen Receptor-β-Like Immunoreactivity in Rat Forebrain

Li, Xia, Schwartz, Phillip E., Rissman, Emilie F.·2008·Neuroendocrinology

Abstract

The data presented here are the first to describe the distribution of estrogen receptor-β(ERβ)-like immunoreactivity in brain tissue. We employed an affinity purified rabbit antisemm made against a portion of the C-terminal of the ERβ protein. The majority of ERβ-like immunoreactive (ERβ-ir) neurons were found in the following regions: lateral septum, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, paraventricular nucleus, supraoptic nucleus, medial amygdala, the dentate gyms and the CA1 and CA2 fields of the hippocampus. A few ERβ-ir neurons were noted in the anterior hypothalamus, periventricular nucleus, medial preoptic area, and in the arcuate nucleus. All of the immunoreactivity appeared nuclear in its subcellular distribution, with the exception of the cells in the lateral septum, CA1 and CA2. In these areas immunoreactivity was noted throughout the perikarya and in cell processes. The data suggest that ERβ mediates estrogen’s actions in a subset of hypothalamic and limbic neurons.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
