Physiological measures during recovery from CVS.

	Recovery
	Early (16 hr)	Delayed (7d)
BW change (%)
Control	6.0 ± 0.74	13.65 ± 1.65
CVS	0.215 ± 0.08 ^*	8.40 ± 0.85 ^*
Thymus Wt (mg/gm BW)
Control	111.23±8.6	97.42±8.40
CVS	86.9±8.40 ^*	96.69±9.49
Adrenal Wt (mg/gm BW)
Control	17.27±0.76	16.30±1.74
CVS	19.40±1.05 ^*	16.45±1.49

Data represent mean ± SEM from 12–20 rats per group. Rats were exposed to CVS for 7 day or were unstressed controls. At each recovery point, body weights were determined prior to any experimental manipulation. Time points reflect the length of time after cessation of stress.

CVS is significantly different from corresponding control group (p<0.05)
