Behavioral testing was evaluated 72 h following LPS or saline injection for control, mastectomy, and mastectomy + tumor animals (n = 15–20/group). (A–C) Central tendency during first 5 min, total beam breaks, and total rears were evaluated during open field testing and were not different between treatment groups. (D–E) Latency to float and total floating duration were comparable between treatment groups during forced swim testing. (F) There was also no difference in sucrose consumption after 2 days of acclimation as a measure of anhedonia. All data is presented as treatment mean ± SEM. Graph bars that do not share a letter are statistically significantly different at p < 0.05.
