Mood and Memory Function in Ovariectomised Rats Exposed to Social Instability Stress

Table 2

Serum ACTH and corticosterone levels in non-stressed and stressed groups.

Group	ACTH (pg/mL)	Corticosterone (pg/mL)
Non-stressed	45.789±1.200	4611.000±169.430
Stressed	56.952±1.891^∗∗	5661.905±163.951^∗∗

Each value represents the mean ± SEM of 10 rats; significantly different from non-stressed group at ^∗𝑃<0.05; ^∗∗𝑃<0.001. Control: sham-operated control rats; OVX: ovariectomised rats.
