Comparison of the experimental groups in terms of serum leptin level (ng/mL)
Results are expressed as Means±Standard Error of the Mean (ANOVA followed by LSD post-hoc test).
*P<0.05; and **P<0.01 compared to Co; #P<0.05 compared to Sh-PVN; ₸P<0.05 compared to Sh-CeA; €P<0.05; and €€P<0.01 compared to SS; ΔP<0.05 compared to CRH-PVN; £P<0.05 compared to SS-CRH-CeA.
PVN: Paraventricular nucleus; CeA: Central amygdala; Co: Control group; Sh-PVN: Sham-operated PVN group; Sh-CeA: Shamoperated CeA group; SS: Social stress group; IS: Isolation stress group; CRH-PVN: CRH injection into the PVN; CRH-CeA: CRH injection into the CeA; SS-CRH-PVN: Social stress-CRH injection into the PVN; IS-CRH-PVN: Isolation stress-CRH injection into the PVN; SS-CRH-CeA: Social stress-CRH injection into the CeA; ISCRH-CeA: Isolation stress-CRH injection into the CeA.
