Urinary voiding in adult female and male rats following ELS exposure. Urinary voiding volume was assessed using urine spot analysis in 20 adult female (a) and 18 male (b) rats. Following unpredictable ELS, 7 females exhibit increased voiding volumes indicated by an increased area of urine saturation compared with 5 predictable odor-shock (#p < 0.05) and 8 odor only control females (*p < 0.05). b In male rats, a history of unpredictable early life adverse experience (6 rats) did not alter voiding volumes compared to males exposed to predictable ELS (5 rats) or odor only controls (7 rats)
