Effects of Early-Life Stress on Social and Anxiety-Like Behaviors in Adult Mice: Sex-Specific Effects

Figure 3

The influence of early-life stress on the behavior of adult female mice in plus-maze test in different phases of estrous cycle. Data present as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). White box: estrous (5 female controls, 4 HD group, and 6 MS group), gray box: diestrus (6 female controls, 2 HD group, and 1 MS group). Insufficient number of mice in each phase did not allow a correct statistical analysis.
