Figure 5. Chronic Unpredictable Stress (CUS) increases 5-HIAA but not 5-HT and also increases 5-HIAA / 5-HT ratio in the hypothalamus.

Figure 5

Figure 5A represents a significant difference in hypothalamic 5-HIAA levels between CUS and control animals (p=0.0098). No change in 5-HT levels was observed in this region (n = rats 6–8 per group). Figure 5B represents the 5-HIAA / 5-HT ratio which was significantly different between groups (p=0.034). Data were analyzed by independent two-tailed t-test (*p < 0.05). (n = rats 5–7 per group)
