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

Figure 8

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