Chronic low glucocorticoid levels selectively alter expression of hippocampal corticosteroid receptors. A: No difference was detected in GR mRNA levels in dentate gyrus of ADX/clamped rats at any time point compared with sham-adrenalectomized (ADX) controls. B: Levels of MR mRNA were transiently enhanced in granule cells of ADX/clamped animals. Upregulation of MR mRNA was pronounced during the first weeks after adrenalectomy and returned to control levels by 3 months of age. *P < 0.05, Student’s t-test).
