Abstract:
In this study, we report the immunocytochemical localization of the calcium-binding protein calretinin (CAL) in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of male and female rodents including rats, mice, golden hamsters, and Arvicanthis niloticus. The results revealed that CAL is present in different subdivisions of the SCN in the different species studied and CAL can, therefore, not be considered a marker for particular subdivisions within the SCN. No differences were found between males and females.
