Panel A: Percent time in open arms of elevated plus maze test of stress (n=16) and control (n=12) groups. Plasma corticosterone in stress (n=19) and control (n=15) groups. Corticotropin-releasing hormone mRNA levels in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of stress (n=8) and control (n=9) groups (Panel C). Panel D depicts a coronal brain section with a dashed line surrounding the region of the PVN isolated for RT-qPCR. (*P<0.05).
