Figure 3. Stress-induced plasma corticosterone (CORT) secretion.

Figure 3

At all time points, female (F) offspring had higher CORT levels when compared to male (M) offspring (overall sex effect; P<0.001 in all cases). At baseline, a significant genotype effect was observed (P = 0.013). Abbreviations: WT, wild-type; C, control offspring. Data represent mean+S.E.M. N = 7–10 mice/group. 1Only significant in male offspring when stratified for sex (see results section for more details).
