Figure 3. Reduced latency to feed and enhanced FST immobility in early postpartum females.

Figure 3.

A,B) Early postpartum rats had comparable spontaneous locomotor activity (SLA) to virgins, as they exhibited A) similar distance traveled (p=0.32) and B) time spent moving (p=0.61) compared with virgins throughout the first week postpartum. C) Early postpartum females exhibited reduced latency to consume food in a novel environment across the first week postpartum compared with virgins (p<0.0001). D) 1-day postpartum females showed increased immobility in the FST compared with virgins and 1wk-PP females. Error bars represent mean ± SEM. Gray bars represent virgins, red bars represent postpartum females (n=6-9 per group). *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
