Fig. 5. Plasma Corticosterone Levels after Acute Hypothermic Stress.

Fig. 5

Plasma corticosterone (CORT) was measured in stress-free rats and at several time points after the termination of hypothermic stress. A robust stress-induced elevation of plasma CORT is evident by the end of the hypothermia period and peaks 60 min later. Each column represents the mean of at least four 12- to 13-day-old rats with bars indicating the SEM. Asterisks represent a significant difference from the stress-free group (P < 0.0001) determined by unpaired Student’s t test.
