Plasma corticosterone response in male and female rats following exposure to predator odor (PO) stress. a Experimental design. Rats were exposed to bobcat urine in a clean cage. Tail blood samples were collected before exposure to PO, immediately after, 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min post-stress. b Plasma corticosterone concentrations at the indicated time points. Data presented as mean ± SEM. Asterisk denotes P < .05 between sexes; number sign denotes P < .05 in comparison with the baseline (− 15 min time point)
