How data was acquired	Real-time PCR (QuantStudioTM 6 Flex Real-Time PCR System, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA)
Data format	Analyzed
Experimental factors	Male Wistar rats were subjected to acute restraint stress for 0 (control), 60, 120, and 240 min in the dark-cycle. At the end of each treatment, whole brain was rapidly removed and the medial prefrontal cortex was cryo-dissected for relative gene expression analysis.
Experimental features	Total RNA was extracted from each isolated medial prefrontal cortex, reversed transcribed to cDNA, and the relative expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS), inducible NOS, and I kappa B alpha (Nfkbia) was determined.
Data source location	Brisbane, Australia
