Figure 3. Acute stress induced increases in corticosterone secretion: correlations with endocannabinoid content within the amygdala.

Figure 3

  1. Thirty min restraint stress resulted in a significant increase in circulating corticosterone. Values denoted are means ± SEM. * denotes significant differences (p < .05) in corticosterone levels between basal and stress conditions.
  2. Under stress conditions, the magnitude of corticosterone secretion correlated significantly and negatively with anandamide (AEA) content in the amygdala. There was no significant correlation between corticosterone and 2-AG content in the amygdala. * denotes a significant correlation (p < .05).
