Effect of corticosterone and adrenalectomy on NMDA-induced cholinergic cell death in rat magnocellular nucleus basalis

Journal of neuroendocrinology

The present study demonstrates the effects of adrenalectomy and subcutaneously administered corticosterone on N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced neurodegeneration in the cholinergic magnocellular basal nucleus of the rat. NMDA was unilaterally injected into the nucleus basalis at different plasma corticosterone concentrations in adrenalectomized rats, in adrenalectomized animals with subcutaneously implanted cholesterol-corticosterone pellets containing 25% or 100% corticosterone, and in…
