Figure 6. Hypothalamic serotonergic activity correlates with plasma corticosterone levels in stressed animals.

Figure 6

A positive correlation was observed in individual animals treated with Chronic Unpredictable Stress (CUS) between the concentration of plasma corticosterone (ng/ml) and their ratio of 5-HIAA / 5-HT in the hypothalamus. A Pearson correlation was performed to compare these data (n = 4–6 per group).
