Mean (±SEM) corticosterone concentration before (0 h) and 12 h and 24 h after food and water deprivation. A indicates plasma and B indicates target tissue. Mean corticosterone at 12 h and 24 h was compared with the corticosterone value at 0 h. Significant differences are indicated with *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01. SEM, standard error of the mean.
