The Effects of Sex and Chronic Restraint on Instrumental Learning in Rats

Figure 1

The left side compares the body weights of males across 21 days of restraint with the weights of litter-matched controls. Restraint attenuated weight gain by approximately 7% across the three weeks. The right side compares the body weights of females across 21 days of restraint with the weights of litter-matched controls. Restraint attenuated weight gain by approximately 5% over the three weeks.
