BALB/cJ | 2169.5 ± 1832** | 2080 ± 1442** | |
Corticosterone | C57BL/6J | 206.7 ± 94 | 165 ± 70 |
BALB/cJ | 380.3 ± 104** | 400 ± 165** | |

Females | 357.9 ± 121* | 344 ± 191* | |
Following ANOVA for significance, P values were generated from post hoc testing (Tukey’s test for multiple comparisons). Differences were considered highly significant and significant at P values less than 0.0001 (2 ** per result) and 0.05 (one * per result), respectively. Significant differences were only seen between strains or sexes within a given chamber type and not between chambers. |
