Effects of pubertal stress on locomotor activity, exploration, and anxiety-like behavior. A) Total distance traveled in open field (cm), B) total number of rearing behaviors, C) time in center of the open field arena, D) percent of time spent in open arms in EPM in adolescents, E) latency to eat in NSF test in adolescents, F) net latency to drink palatable solution in NIH test in adults

Two-way ANOVA effects listed above each measurement.

Significantly different to non-stress group of same sex: **p < 0.01 Fisher's test; Significantly different to corresponding experimental group of opposite sex: #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001, Fisher's test

OFT: n = 13–15 adolescents, n = 11–13 adults; EPM: n = 9–11 adolescents; NSF: n = 8–10 adolescents; NIH: n = 12–13 adults.
