Effects of Chronic Stress and 17β-Estradiol Implants on Hippocampal CA3 Dendritic Arborization. Camera Lucida tracings (320X) represent both SS and LS hippocampal neurons to the left. Chronically stressed rats with blank implants (SX) showed CA3 dendritic retraction in SS apical branch points (A) and length (B) and in LS apical and basal branch points (E, G) and apical length (F). In addition, rats in the SE group had significantly greater branch length compared to rats in the NE group (P<0.01, D). Non-stress control-blank (NX), non-stress control-cholesterol (NC), non-stress control-17β-estradiol (NE), stress-blank (SX), stress-cholesterol (SC), stress-17β-estradiol (SE). *P<0.05 compared to NX, NC, SC, NE, SE; √P<0.05 compared to the nonstressed control given the same hormone implant.
