Figure 1. Acute swim stress-induced corticosterone increases as measured by two out of four assays are statistically significant.

Figure 1

Swim stress led to a significant corticosterone increase as assessed by the Enzo assay [Mean ±SEM of 55.45±15.5 ng/mL vs 179.7±40.38ng/mL (p<0.05, d=1.448)] and the RIA kit [Mean ±SEM of 155±31.18 ng/mL vs 301±28.24ng/mL (p<0.01, d=1.797)]. Percent change in plasma corticosterone from baseline to acute stress condition was 224% for Enzo, 93.7% for Abcam, 86.7% for R&D, and 94.1% for RIA. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01compared to baseline within each assay. Mean ±SEM is shown for each assay/condition.
