Effects of chronic variable stress (CVS, squares) compared to control conditions (CON, circles) on relative body mass (calculated as percentage of body mass on day 1, prior to the start of the CVS paradigm) of adult male California mice living as virgin males (white markers), pair-bonded males (light grey markers) or new fathers (dark grey markers). Data are means ± s.e.m. #Significant main effects: time (P=0.002) and stress condition (P<0.001), $Significant interaction effect: time × stress condition (P<0.001), ***Significant difference between CVS and CON (pooled over housing conditions, P<0.001)
