Sex-dependent effects of corticosterone treatment on glucose homeostasis. (A) NFBG levels during days 3 to 14 of treatment (repeated three-way ANOVA: PS < 0.001, PC < 0.001, PT < 0.001, PS×C < 0.001, PS×T = 0.02, PC×T < 0.001, PS×C×T = 0.02; two-way ANOVA at each time point: PS < 0.05 every time point, PC = 0.69 for day 3, PC < 0.05 for days 5 to 14, PS×C < 0.05 every time point). (B) Fasting blood glucose levels determined on day 14 of treatment (PS = 0.01, PC = 0.008, PS×C = 0.19). Unless stated, statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA. *P < 0.05, for sex difference between mice with the same treatment; #P < 0.05, for effect of corticosterone treatment in mice of the same sex, by post hoc test.
