Table 1. Experimental design.

Male and female adolescent rats were either non-stressed (NS) or subjected to chronic adolescent stress (CAS) during post-natal days (PNDs) 38-49. In adulthood on PND 94, all rats received a single, systemic injection of either saline or lipopolysaccharide (Sheppard et al.), and hippocampal tissue was collected at 1, 2, or 4 hours following injection (n=5-7/group).
