Adiponectin is required for exercise to mitigate corticosterone-elicited impairment of dendritic reorganization. (A) The typical morphology of neurons was reconstructed with Neurolucida software. Scale bars: 20 μm. (B,C) COR treatment remarkably decreased the dendritic length, as illustrated by the distribution plot of dendritic length (B; n = 12–17 neurons/group) and the average of total dendritic length (C; n = 12–17 neurons/group). (D–E) The number of intersections also declined after COR treatments by Sholl analysis, as evidenced by the distribution plot of the number of intersections (D; n = 12–17 neurons/group) and the average of total intersections (E; n = 12–17 neurons/group). Notably, exercise significantly increased the dendritic length and the number of intersections in WCR rather than KCR. Data are shown as means ± SD. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test. N.S., non-significant.
