Plasma ACTH and CORT concentrations 10 min after 6 min of forced swimming

	WT, no stress	WT, swim stress	GSK, no stress	GSK, swim stress
ACTH (pg/ml)	313.5 ± 39.2	489.9 ± 32.8*	264.5 ± 48.5	468.1 ± 70.8*
CORT (ng/ml)	133.0 ± 44.0	246.8 ± 10.0*	143.7 ± 46.5	276.1 ± 18.4*

Values are shown as means ± SEM. There were no differences between male WT mice (no stress, n = 7; swim stress, n = 6) and male GSK mice (no stress, n = 8; swim stress, n = 6) in the ACTH and CORT response after forced swim stress.

*p < 0.05 (least significant difference post hoc test; different from the no-stress group of the same genotype).
