Table 2. The Effects of Chronic Stress on Locomotor Activity of Wild-type Mice and those Deficient in Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase.
Three weeks exposure of restraint stress to wild-type C57/Bl6 mice, or those lacking fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH−/−), had no effect on locomotor activity in an open field arena.
