Repeated CORT exposure up-regulated gene expression in a subset of validated genes. Arrdc2 expression was significantly up-regulated within the Acb after 5 days of food restriction (A) and after 5 days of CORT exposure while provided with ad libitum diet (B). In contrast, Pdk4 expression was significantly up-regulated after 5 days of food restriction in the Acb (C) however not after 5 days of CORT exposure while provided with ad libitum food (D). *=P < 0.05, n=5 mice per group.
