Figure 2From: Inner capillary diameter of hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of female rat increases during lactationPhotomicrographs of transversal sections through the anterior hypothalamus of a female rat. A) High capillary density in the hypothalamic PVN observed in six serial 100-μm unstained sections. B) The same six sections after cresyl violet staining; note that capillaries are not visualized but stained neurons can be seen (for details see text). Scale bar: 200 μm.Back to article page
