Sprague Dawley rats were assigned into four groups; Group 1: control, group 2: exercised, group 3: social defeat; group 4: social defeat and exercise. At the end of the social defeat or control exposure, one group of socially defeated rats was subjected to treadmill exercise for 2 weeks (1st week – 10m/min for 30 minutes, 2nd week – 15m/min for 30 minutes) whereas the other socially defeated group was handled without the exercise).
