Area under the curve (AUC) for plasma CORT and ACTH after injection of high (0.1 mg/kg) or low (0.01 mg/kg) dose dexamethasone (DEX) or saline 2 hr prior to restraint on post-injury days (PID) 1, 7 and 14 in Control, Sham and FPI rats. Histograms indicate AUC normalized to pre-injection basal levels, for (A) corticosterone (CORT) and (B) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH); Each histogram represents the mean ± SEM of 6–9 rats/injection/group. *p<0.05, **p<0.005 and ***p<0.0005 vs corresponding saline-treated group.
