(A) Exposure to chronic stress in adulthood reduced saccharin preference (P<0.05 as compared with all groups designated with ‘a'). Prenatal DEX prevented the stress-induced reduction in saccharin preference (P>0.05 as compared with all groups designated with ‘a' and P<0.05 as compared with ‘b'). (B) Chronic stress in adulthood reduced central tendency in an open field (*P<0.05 compared with SAL+CON or DEX+CON). Rats exposed to DEX in utero followed by STRESS in adulthood showed a reduction in central tendency (*P<0.05 compared with SAL+CON or DEX+CON), but to a lesser degree than those rats exposed to SAL+STRESS (#P<0.05 compared with SAL+STRESS). Data are presented as mean±s.e.m.; n=6 for SAL+CON, SAL+STRESS, DEX+STRESS; n=7 for DEX+CON. DEX+CON, dexamethasone+adult control; SAL+CON, saline+adult control.
