Effects of high (0.1 mg/kg) or low (0.01 mg/kg) dose dexamethasone (DEX) or saline injected 2 hr prior to 30-min restraint on stress-induced corticosterone (CORT) responses in Control (A), Sham (B) and FPI (C) rats on post-injury days (PID) 1, 7 and 14. Each value represents the mean ± SEM of 6–9 rats/injection/group. Time pre-DEX (0 min) and post-stress onset (30, 60, 90 and 120 min) is indicated on the X-axis. *p<0.05 vs corresponding saline- treated group.
