Behavior, weight gain and locomotion. a Number of defeated stress-exposed rats (intruder rats) during conditioning at day 1–7. b Bodyweight at day seven in stress-exposed rats versus control rats (relative to baseline), p = 0.007. c Organ-to-bodyweight ratio of the spleen in stress-exposed rats versus control rats. d Social interaction test; time spent in the three different chambers, stress-exposed rats versus control rats. e Example of locomotion in the three different chambers (10 s intervals). f Peak locomotion > (5 cm/s) stress-exposed rats versus control rats, p = 0.029. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, Students t-test
