Sex differences in the traumatic stress response: the role of adult gonadal hormones

Table 2 Neither SPS nor hormone status affected body weight or adrenal weight in males

Rat body weights were collected before undergoing SPS or control conditions (baseline) and before the dexamethasone suppression test (post-test). Adrenal weights were collected after sacrifice. Neither SPS nor gonadecomty (GDX) or testosterone (T) affected body or adrenal weight in males and all rats gained weight over the course of the experiment (*, vs baseline). Data was presented as mean±SEM. Significance set at P < .05 (indicated by asterisk) for planned pairwise comparisons (Bonferroni). Refer to Additional file 4 for full statistical results
