Figure 5. Environmental enrichment increases the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced rise of post-stress corticosterone (CORT) levels.

Figure 5

Mice were treated for 7 days with IAA (0.1%, added to the drinking water) or DSS (2%, added to the drinking water) or kept under control conditions (CO, plain drinking water) after standard or enriched housing for 9 weeks. Plasma CORT was measured 2 h after the beginning of a 30-min exposure to water avoidance stress at the end of the treatment period. The values represent means + SEM, n = 10.
