Rats were subjected to hypoxia for 30 min in a chamber containing 5% O2 and 95% N2. The distribution of damaged neurons in the hippocampus was then examined at various predetermined times, ranging from 3 hours to 21 days after hypoxia. Hematoxylin-eosin stained sections showed shrunken and eosinophilic neurons in the CA3 and CA4 regions. Similar, but less severe, changes were also observed in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus. In contrast, neurons in the CA1 region were relatively resistant to hypoxia. These results showed the susceptibility of the hippocampus to hypoxia, although the affected neurons are not the same as those vulnerable to ischemia.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.
