Basal plasma corticosterone levels of SHR and WKY males (M) and females (F), maternally separated (MS) or non-maternally separated (nMS). *SHR had higher basal levels of corticosterone than WKY (p < 0.001). @Maternal separation increased basal levels of corticosterone in SHR females (p < 0.05). (SHR males: nMS, n = 5, MS, n = 9; SHR females: nMS, n = 4, MS, n = 14; WKY males: nMS, n = 7; MS, n = 9; WKY females, nMS, n = 10, MS, n = 6).
