Chronic treatment with paroxetine was effective in susceptible mice but detrimental in control and resilient mice.(A) Experimental timeline designed for the assessment of the effect of chronic treatment with paroxetine in control (vehicle n = 8, paroxetine n = 7), susceptible (vehicle n = 7, paroxetine n = 6) and resilient mice (vehicle n = 7, paroxetine n = 8). (B) Startle magnitude (% of baseline) (Day 36: Treatment, F(1, 37) = 6.024, P = 0.019; Stresssusceptibility, F(2, 37) = 18.88, P < 0.0001. Day 43: Treatment, F(1, 37) = 3.84, P = 0.049; Stresssusceptibility, F(2, 37) = 14.25, P < 0.0001). (C) Startle latency (% of baseline) (Day 36: Treatment, F(1, 37) = 12.02, P = 0.0014; Stresssusceptibility, F(2, 37) = 6.64, P = 0.0034. Day 43: Stresssusceptibility, F(2, 37) = 5.271, P = 0.0097). (D) AROUSAL score (Treatment, F(1, 37) = 8.67, P = 0.0056; Stresssusceptibility, F(2, 37) = 22.23, P < 0.0001). (E) Center entries ratio (Treatment x Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 10.45, P = 0.0003) and (F) time spent in center of the OF (Treatment x Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 7.45, P = 0.0019). (G) Entries in open arms (Treatment F(1, 37) = 25.14, P < 0.0001; Treatment x Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 22.68, P < 0.0001) and (H) time in open arms of EPM (Treatment F(1, 37) = 5.29, P = 0.0272; Treatment x Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 8.77, P = 0.0008). (I). AVOIDANCE-like score (Treatment F(1, 37) = 18.3, P < 0.0001; Treatment x Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 30.48, P < 0.0001). (J) Social duration during the 5-trial SM test [Treatment x trial, F(20, 144) = 3.065, P < 0.0001; Trial, F(4, 144) = 74.6, P < 0.0001. Bonferroni post hoc test: *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs each specific trial 1 (habituation); †p < 0.05, ††p < 0.01, †††p < 0.001 vs each specific trial 5 (dishabituation)]. (K) SOCIAL MEMORY score (Treatment x Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 8.69, P = 0.0008). (L) PTSD-like score 2 (Treatment F(1, 37) = 15.05, P = 0.0004; Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 14.31, P < 0.0001; Treatment x Stresssusceptibility F(2, 37) = 17.45, P < 0.0001). Two-way ANOVA or one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs vehicle-treated control mice, &P < 0.05, &&P < 0.01, &&&P < 0.001 vs vehicle-treated susceptible mice, #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 vs vehicle-treated resilient mice.
