Table 2.

Motor measures acquired in an open field and anxiety-like/motor measures acquired in a light-dark transition task from Tat(−) and Tat(+) males that were exposed (or not) to a 15-min forced swim stress with repeated administration of saline or oxycodone. * indicates a main effect of genotype wherein Tat(+) mice differ from Tat(−) controls. † indicates a main effect for oxycodone to differ from saline-administered mice. ‡ indicates an interaction wherein the denoted group significantly differs from Tat(+), saline-administered controls. § indicates an interaction wherein the denoted group significantly differs from all other groups, p ≤ 0.05.
