Effect of CRH antagonist infusion on ADX-induced granule cell death
Treatment: | Dentate Gyrus Region

---|---|---|---|
Septal | Middle | Temporal | |
Sham-ADX | 0.67 ± 0.2 | 0.38 ± 0.7 | 0.66 ± 0.33 |
ADX | 10.7 ± 1.6* | 17.0 ± 3.9* | 15.0 ± 3.2* |
ADX-Antagonist | 9.0 ± 1.4* | 22.4 ± 7.0* | 28.8 ± 18.1* |
ADX-Vehicle | 16.3 ± 1.8* | 18.1 ± 2.1* | 22.4 ± 3.9* |
The number of apoptotic granule cells was determined in both the left and the right side of the dentate gyrus. The number of sections and the anatomic boundaries of the septal, middle, and temporal regions of the hippocampal formation have been defined in the Methods’ section.
Treatment group medians are significantly different from the control group’s (p < 0.05; Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric ANOVA test). ADX-Vehicle is not significantly different from ADX-Antagonist (post-hoc Dunn’s test).
