Evidence for the existence of an estrogen-responsive sexually dimorphic group of cells in the medial preoptic area of the 129SvEv mouse strain

The current study describes the presence of sexually dimorphic cell groups within the MPO of the 129SvEv, but not the C57BL/6J strain of mice. We detected galanin-positive clusters of cells located in the MPO ...
