a Direct visualization of ZsGreen-labeled ERα neurons in a coronal hypothalamic section from a female ERα-ZsGreen mouse. The VMH subdivisions, dmVMH, cVMH, and vlVMH, were highlighted with white borders. The similar results were replicated three times. b Percentage of glucose-sensing or non-glucose-sensing neurons in different VMH subgroups. c Percentage of GI and GE neurons within the ERαvlVMH population in gonad-intact female mice. d, e Representative electrophysiological responses to glucose fluctuations (5→1→5 mM) in a GI d and a GE-ERαvlVMH neuron e. Source data are provided as a Source Data Fig. 1.
