Interactive influence of stress and ovariectomy on female rat behavior. Stressed rats, independent of surgery condition, spent less time in the open arms of the EPM (a), exhibited less locomotor activity in the open field (e), and displayed fewer rearing episodes in the open field (f) than non-stressed rats. Ovariectomized (OVX) rats demonstrated greater startle responses (c) and spent less time in the center of the open field (d) than sham rats. Data are presented as means ± SEM. * p < 0.05 relative to no stress; ** p < 0.05 relative to sham.
