a Experimental timeline for behavioral testing after intra-mPFC infusion of either control IgG (160 ng/side) or IGF-1 nAb (160 ng/side) and i.p. injection of either saline or ketamine (10 mg/kg). b Immobility time in the forced swim test (FST) 1 day after intra-mPFC and i.p. injections (interaction, F1,40 = 15.7, p = 0.0003, n = 11). c Locomotor activity (LMA) 2 days after intra-mPFC and i.p. injections (interaction, F1,40 = 0.0610, p = 0.806, n = 11). d Time spent sniffing female urine in the female urine sniffing test (FUST) 3 days after intra-mPFC and i.p. injections (interaction, F1,40 = 5.36, p = 0.0259, n = 11). e Latency to feed in the novelty-suppressed feeding (NSF) test 4 days after intra-mPFC and i.p. injections (interaction, F1,40 = 4.18, p = 0.0475, n = 11). f Home cage feeding (HCF) just after the NSF (interaction, F1,40 = 0.281, p = 0.101, n = 11). g Schematic representation of mPFC infusion sites. Plates are from ref. [50]; 1.94, 1.78, 1.70, and 1.54 indicate distances (mm) from bregma. Data are expressed as means ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (two-way ANOVA followed by Holm–Sidak’s post hoc test).
