From: Enriched environment alleviates stress-induced dry-eye through the BDNF axis
Enriched environment prevents and alleviates stress-induced decreased tear secretion. (a) Standard environment (SE) and enriched environment (EE) (b) Basal tear secretion was not affected by EE housing (n = 6). (c) EE housing prevented decreased tear secretion compared to SE housing (n = 6; **P < 0.01 by Student’s t-test). (d) EE prior to stress alleviated stress-induced decreased tear secretion (n = 6; **P < 0.01,*P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test). (e) EE introduced following stress was associated with faster recovery compared with SE housing (n = 6; **P < 0.01 by Student’s t-test).
