Sex differences in the traumatic stress response: PTSD symptoms in women recapitulated in female rats

Table 1 SPS did not affect body weight in males or females

Rats were weighed before undergoing SPS or control conditions (baseline) and on the day of the dexamethasone suppression test (post-test). SPS did not affect body weight, and all rats gained weight over the course of the experiment (*, vs baseline). As expected, all females weighed less than males. Data presented as mean ± SEM. Significance set at P < .05 (indicated by asterisk) for planned pairwise comparisons (Bonferroni). Refer to Additional file 1 for full statistical results
