Figures & data
Figure 1. Plasma corticosterone concentration (µg/dl) in NMS and MS rats subjected to chronic variable stress under AMI (5 mg/kg) or vehicle administration. Mean ± SE are presented. The number of animals per group is included inside each bar. (a) Significant difference (p < 0.05) versus respective vehicle. (c) Significant differences (p < 0.05) versus respective NMS.
Figure 2. Plasma ACTH concentration (pg/ml) in NMS and MS rats subjected to chronic variable stress under AMI (5 mg/kg) or vehicle administration. Mean ± SE are presented. The number of animals per group is included inside each bar. (b) Significant difference (p < 0.05) versus respective unstressed. (c) Significant differences (p < 0.05) versus respective NMS.
Figure 3. Index of adrenal sensitivity to ACTH measured as plasma corticosterone divided by the log of plasma ACTH, in NMS and MS rats subjected to chronic variable stress under AMI (5 mg/kg) or vehicle administration. Mean ± SE are presented. The number of animals per group is included inside each bar. (a) Significant difference (p < 0.05) versus respective vehicle.
