Predictive equation of the immobility duration [in seconds (Y)] spend in the Forced Swim Test (FST) based on the Lactobacillus-based supplementation and stress treatments in rodents.
| Model | Fixed effect | Equation: estimate (s) ± standard error | P-value | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1: Supplementation | Control (n = 28) | Y = 133.47 ± 17.7913 a | 0.6469 | 
| Supplemented (n = 24) | Y = 130.59 ± 17.9145 a | ||
| Model 2: Stress | Non-Stress (n = 17) | Y = 117.28 ± 18.0394 a | 0.0003 |
