Figure 6From: Increased nociceptive sensitivity and nociceptin/orphanin FQ levels in a rat model of PTSD SPS reduced long term serum CORT levels. Serum was collected on day 9, 14 and 28 (control: n= 4, 4, 12, respectively; SPS: n=4, 4, 10, respectively) after initiation of SPS in 3 sets of rats. SPS exposure significantly reduced CORT levels at day 28, but not day 9 and 14, compared to control (*p<0.01) by unpaired Student’s t-test. Data plotted as mean ± SEM.Back to article page
