The effect of 7-week exposure to CMS and 5-week treatment with IMI on the consumption of a 1 % sucrose solution. After seven weeks of stress and five weeks of IMI treatment, the sucrose intake was statistically significantly different between the CMS IMI-R group and CMS IMI-NR animals. Data represent the means ± SEM; n = 7, *p < 0.05 versus control; ^p < 0.05 versus CMS; ^o p < 0.05 versus CMS IMI-R
