Physiological and endocrine changes during 21 days of chronic social defeat stress in females. a Characterization of females within the stressed group based on saccharin intake using cluster analysis (n=50). Females clustered separately into two distinct groups, subsequently termed stress-resistant (SR) and stress-sensitive (SS). b Average intake (ml/60 min) of 0.02 % saccharin solution before (Pre) and during social defeat stress in stress-resistant (SR, n=14), stress-sensitive (SS, n=36), and non-stressed control (n=26) female rats. *p<0.05 vs. control, #p<0.05 SS vs. SR. c Average saccharin preference (% of total 60 min fluid intake) before (Pre) and during social defeat stress in SR, SS, and control rats. Subjects and symbols are the same as in panel b
