Figure 2: CRPS Increases Corticosterone Concentrations.
Corticosterone concentrations collected following the 15th (PND 49) and 30th (PND 79) exposure to handling (control) or chronic repeated predatory stress (CRPS group) were collected from fecal boli. Corticosterone concentrations were higher in the CRPS groups of both sexes at both timepoints and females had higher corticosterone concentrations in fecal boli than males. Reported values depict mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
