Group | n | Raw corticosterone ± SEM (ng / mL) | SQRT transformed ± SEM |
---|---|---|---|
CC | 8 | 2.9 ± 0.9 | 1.5 ± 0.3 |
24 h EC | 7 | 38.8 ± 20.9 | 5.1 ± 1.5 |
24 h SI | 10 | 124.7 ± 39.4 | 9.5 ± 1.9* |
72 h EC | 4 | 8.6 ± 4.3 | 2.7 ± 0.67 |
72 h SI | 8 | 74.6 ± 32.0 | 7.0 ± 1.9 |
Compared to CC rats, plasma CORT levels appear elevated after both 24-h EC, 24-h SI, and 72-h SI conditions. Only the 24-h SI condition has significantly elevated CORT levels (see text for details). Asterisk indicates significantly different than CC group (P < 0.05).
