From: Profiling of adrenal corticosteroids in blood and local tissues of mice during chronic stress
Effect of social defeat on profiling of (A) corticosterone (CORT), (B) 11-dehydrocorticosterone (11DHC), (C) progesterone (PROG) and (D) 11-deoxycorticosterone (11DOC) in the brain and peripheral tissues. Data are means ± SEM (n = 4–5). Red columns, control unstressed mice (CTRL); green columns, mice exposed to chronic social defeat (STRESS); BC, bellow the lowest value of the calibration curve; Hipp hippocampus, MLN mesenteric lymph node. The amounts of steroids were converted to ng per mg of protein. Significantly different values between stressed and unstressed mice: ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05.
