Fig. 1. Adrenal corticosterone and PNMT mRNA in unstressed mice receiving increasing concentrations of subcutaneous dexamethasone (Dex) pellets.

A, Adrenal corticosterone levels. There was no statistical difference between the adrenal corticosterone levels with increasing dose of pellet Dex (n = 2–4 animals/group). B, Adrenal PNMT/actin mRNA ratio normalized for total RNA content. There are significantly higher levels of PNMT mRNA with increasing dose of Dex supplementation compared with placebo (P = 0.02 by ANOVA for Dex dose, n = 2–4 animals/group).
