Pre-conception predator stress increases plasma corticosterone levels after a mild stressor in F1 mice. (A) Schematic of F1 corticosterone procedure. (B,C) Mean ± SEM plasma corticosterone (cort) in ng/ml plotted for two groups of offspring: those from control parents (control F1) and those from preconception predator-stressed parents (predator stress F1). Following the mild stressor, predator stressed F1s had increased serum cort levels compared to control F1s (B). In the absence of mild stressor, plasma cort levels did not differ across groups (C). PS predator stress, C control. ***p < 0.001, NS not significant.
