FIG. 2.
(A) Mean weight change in unstressed versus stressed male and female rats receiving a 0d, 7d, or 10d recovery. Stress attenuated weight gain in 0d Rec male and female rats. (B) Mean adrenal-weight-to-body- weight ratios (adrenal weight/100 g body weight) in unstressed versus stressed male and female rats receiving a 0d, 7d, or 10d recovery. Stress increased relative adrenal weight in 0d Rec male and female rats. Error bars represent SEM. * p < 0.05 compared to same-sex controls; † p < 0.10 compared to same-sex controls; # p < 0.05 compared to same-sex 0d Rec rats; a p < 0.05 compared to male rats.
