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

Figure 5

The influence of early-life stress on the behavior of adult female mice in open-field test in different phases of estrous cycle. Data present as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). White box: estrus (5 female controls, 2 HD group, and 5 MS group), gray box: diestrus (6 female controls, 4 HD group, and 3 MS group). Insufficient number of mice in each phase did not allow a correct statistical analysis.
