The aim of this work was to study the distribution and cellular localization of GLUT2 in the rat
brain by light and electron microscopic immunohistochemistry, whereas our ultrastructural
observations will be reported in a second paper. Confirming previous results, we show that
GLUT2-immunoreactive profiles are present throughout the brain, especially in the limbic
areas and related nuclei, whereas they appear most concentrated in the ventral and medial
regions close to the midline. Using cresyl violet counterstaining and double …
