Figure 5:

Reactive corticosterone levels before (pre), immediately following (post), and 1-hour after (1 hr post) exposure to 30-minutes of restraint were monitored over the 10-week sampling period in noise-exposed and control animals. (A) Reactive corticosterone levels were significantly elevated in noise-exposed rats 1-week post exposure (Two-way RM-ANOVA, p < 0.05, n = 5). (B-D) In contrast, in weeks 4–10, there was a trend for a reduction (i.e., blunting) of the stress response in the noise exposed group of animals compared to the controls; however, this difference was not statistically significant. Data represent mean ± SEM.
