Fig 1: Environmental enrichment reduces levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and chemokine CX3CL1 in susceptible mice. Bars represent the mean of the striatal IL-6 (a) levels (in ng/kg) and CX3CL1 (b) levels (in pg/mg) and the vertical lines ± SEM. Mice were divided into EE-Control (n = 14); EE-SD-R (n = 15) and EE-SD-S (n = 16). Defeated mice were characterized as resilient or susceptible depending on their SWR.

Bars represent mean pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 (in pg/mg) and chemokine CX3CL1 levels (in ng/mg) in the striatum (a and b) and PFC (c and d) and vertical lines ± SEM. Mice were divided into Control (n = 12); Resilient (n = 14) and Susceptible (n = 16).

Supernatants were used in the lower chamber and 3 × 105 freshly isolated mouse bone marrow derived neutrophils or macrophages were seeded in the upper chamber of transwell plates (8 µm pore size) to determine migration capacity.
