Inflammatory Pain and Corticosterone Response in Infant Rats: Effect of 5-HT1A Agonist Buspirone Prior to Gestational Stress

<table>Basal levels of corticosterone and plasma corticosterone levels (<i>μ</i>g/dl) determined 3, 9, 21, 30, and 60 min after injection of formalin (mean ± SEM) in 7-day-old male rats with different prenatal treatments. *<i>P</i> &lt; 0.05 different from the basal level; <sup>+</sup><i>P</i> &lt; 0.05 different from the control, saline, saline + stress, and buspirone; <sup>#</sup><i>P</i> &lt; 0.05 different from the basal level before injection of formalin.</table>
