Depression-related behavior in BALB/c and C57BL/6 female mice during the postpartum period in the forced swim test. The forced swim test was performed for a 10-min test period in nulliparous, nonlactating primiparous, and lactating primiparous females of C57BL/6J, C57BL/6JJcl, BALB/cAnNCrlCrlj, and BALB/cAJcl strains. ad Porsolt forced swim test: a immobility time (%) on day 1, b distance traveled (cm) on day 1, c immobility time (%) on day 2, and d distance traveled (cm) on day 2. Values are means ± SEM. Dashed enclosures in the figure indicate the results replicated in another independent experiment (see Fig. 7). In each strain, *p < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction (lactating primiparous vs. nulliparous); §p < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction (nonlactating primiparous vs. nulliparous)
