Transcript response to corticosterone (CORT) in the amygdala and hippocampus of adult males. a, b Heatmaps represent transcript levels in the amygdala and hippocampus for individual animals. c–g Relative transcript abundance of GR (glucocorticoid receptor), MR (mineralocorticoid receptor), IκBα (nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells inhibitor, alpha), IL6 (interleukin 6), and MKP1 (mitogen activated protein kinase phosphatase 1) in the amygdala. h–k Relative transcript abundance of GR, IκBα, IL6, and MKP1 in the hippocampus. Data presented are means ± standard error. n = 6/experimental group. Main effect of challenge: *p < 0.05. Main effect of diet: **p < 0.05. Diet/challenge interaction: ***p < 0.05. Scheffe post hoc testing was used for pairwise comparisons (p < 0.05)
