The physiological profile of SUB is consistent with exposure to chronic stress. The VBS had a significant effect on body mass (A), fat mass (B), lean mass (C) and adrenal weight (D). Body mass, fat mass and lean mass measurements were made as a percent change from day 1 VBS. Different symbols indicate significant differences between groups. * p<0.05 SUB vs. CON. # p<0.05 SUB vs. DOM. $ p<0.05 DOM vs. CON. Data are presented as mean±S.E.M. CON=control rats, SUB=subordinate rats, DOM=dominant rats. CON n=8, SUB n=18, DOM n=6.
