Fig. 2. Stressed mice could not trigger stress transmission to healthy mice after cohabitation.

Four groups were cohoused or intervened for five weeks according to the experimental plan. Behavioral and corticosterone tests were conducted after the scheduled time (A). The sucrose preference percentage of CUMS and DM was significantly reduced by chronic stress (B), while the immobility time of CUMS in the tail suspension test (C) and serum CORT levels (D) of CUMS and DM was increased. However, no significant difference was observed between CON and OB mice (B–D). (Group DM represented demonstrator mice who underwent the chronic unpredictable mild stress procedure, while Group OB consisted of naive mice cohabiting with DM mice. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n(DM) = 16, n(Other) = 8) (Created in BioRender.
