Effects of restraint stress exposure during acute TMEV infection. A. Subjects exposed to restraint stress have reduced body weights compared to subjects not exposed to restraint. Subjects infected with TMEV also showed significantly reduced body weights compared to non-infected controls. B. Final clinical scores were higher as a result of restraint and infection, indicating more severe encephalitis. C. Serum corticosterone levels were elevated as a result of infection and restraint. Restraint stress elevated circulating corticosterone in both infected and non-infected subjects, an effect that resolves when restraint stress is discontinued (end of week 4).
