Figure 4.

Plasma corticosterone levels in the SOM-GAD67 mice (n = 7) and control mice (n = 7). After the first blood sample collection (pre), the mice were subjected to restraint stress for 120 min. The blood was collected 15 min and 120 min after the beginning of the stress exposure. After the cessation of the stress exposure, the mice were returned to their home cage, and 60 min later, the final blood sample was collected. The plasma corticosterone levels were determined by the enzyme immunoassay kit. Data represent the means + SE.
