Although adrenalectomy has been reported to induce a selective and sometimes nearly complete degeneration of hippocampal dentate granule cells, Azmitia and colleagues recently reported (Mol. Brain Res., 19 (1993) 328–332) that normal hippocampal structure can nonetheless be restored within a matter of days by dexamethasone in the drinking water. We have attempted to confirm this remarkable finding. Four months after adrenalectomy, rats were given vehicle or dexamethasone for 5 days and then sacrificed. Histological analysis revealed that vehicle-treated adrenalectomized rats exhibited a full spectrum of granule cell loss, which spanned mild to nearly complete cell loss. Dexamethasone-treated adrenalectomized rats did not differ from vehicle-treated adrenalectomized rats and, in fact, exhibited a virtually identical spectrum of granule cell loss. These results confirm that adrenalectomy reliably induces hippocampal granule cell degeneration in a majority of animals and indicate that dexamethasone does not restore normal hippocampal structure once granule cell loss has occurred.
