Figure 1From: Ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 in the ventral and lateral hypothalamic area of female rats: morphological characterization and functional implicationsHypothalamic NTPDase3-immunoreactive cells in close apposition to hypothalamic vessels. NTPDase3-immunoreactive perikarya (A, arrow) and putative neuronal processes (B, arrowheads) were frequently seen in close apposition to hypothalamic capillaries (asterisks). Scale bars represent 20 μm.Back to article page
