Fig. 1. The treatment of corticosterone reduces the weight of both pregnant rat mothers and postnatal pups. (A) The experimental schematic for corticosterone injection and behavioral tests. (B) Changes of body weight of rat mothers during pregnancy. On the third week, the reduced weight gain was observed in Corti.Moms. (C) The number of litters. (D) Changes in the weight gain of pup rats during lactation. The weight of Corti.Pups was significantly lower than that of Nor.Pups for three weeks. Data indicate the mean±S.E. **p<0.01.
