Fig 5

Mice assigned to 0.4% NaCl represented by blue symbols, mice assigned to 4.0% NaCl represented by red symbols; mice tested in Training Context represented by squares and solid lines, mice tested in Neutral Context represented by circles and dotted lines. Log-transformed serum corticosterone levels in context fear conditioned mice in A) Experiment 1, B) Experiment 2 (grey shading), and C) Experiment 3. Experiment 1: 0.4% NaCl females Training Context, n = 6; 0.4% NaCl females Neutral Context, n = 7; 4.0% NaCl females Training Context, n = 7; 4.0% NaCl females Neutral Context, n = 7; 0.4% NaCl males Training Context, n = 8; 0.4% NaCl males Neutral Context, n = 9; 4.0% NaCl males Training Context, n = 8; 4.0% NaCl males Neutral Context, n = 8. Experiment 2: 0.4% NaCl females Training Context, n = 8; 0.4% NaCl females Neutral Context, n = 9; 4.0% NaCl females Training Context, n = 7; 4.0% NaCl females Neutral Context, n = 7; 0.4% NaCl males Training Context, n = 9; 0.4% NaCl males Neutral Context, n = 9; 4.0% NaCl males Training Context, n = 8; 4.0% NaCl males Neutral Context, n = 10. Experiment 3: 0.4% NaCl females Training Context, n = 7; 0.4% NaCl females Neutral Context, n = 8; 4.0% NaCl females Training Context, n = 8; 4.0% NaCl females Neutral Context, n = 7; 0.4% NaCl males Training Context, n = 8; 0.4% NaCl males Neutral Context, n = 8; 4.0% NaCl males Training Context, n = 8; 4.0% NaCl males Neutral Context, n = 7. Data are graphed as mean ± 95% confidence interval. ✣indicates p<0.05 difference between females and males on same diet and tested in same context.
