Young-Adult Male Rats’ Vulnerability to Chronic Mild Stress Is Reflected by Anxious-Like instead of Depressive-Like Behaviors

<div>CMS failed to induce anhedonia in the animals. The sucrose solution (a) and tap water intake (b) as well as the sucrose solution preference (c) of rat exposed to CMS (black circles) or maintained without stress (white circles) did not change throughout the experiment. Fluid intake of sucrose solution and tap water was expressed as relative to basal consumption in order to avoid baseline differences. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.</div>
