Early life SOS reduces social behavior in female rats during the SAT. Male rats exposed to early life SOS exhibited comparable performance in the SAT, as indexed by: (A) similar durations of social sniff time (p = 0.91). (B) Female rats exposed to early life SOS exhibited a reduction in social sniff time (p = 0.03) compared to control females. (C) Male rats exposed to early life SOS made similar number of total chamber crosses (p = 0.99) compared with control males. (D) Female rats exposed to early life SOS exhibited similar number of chamber crosses (p = 0.14) compared with controls. White bars and circles represent controls, orange bars and squares represent SOS males, purple bars and squares represent SOS females. Each dot or square represents 1 animal (n = 7–8 per group). * p < 0.05.
