Fig 1: Assessment of plasma corticosterone levels at experimental endpointPlasma corticosterone concentration was quantified using a colorimetric competitive ELISA (Enzo Lifesciences ADI‐900‐097). Plasma samples were pre‐incubated 1:1 with steroid displacement reagent and diluted to a final dilution of 1:40 with assay buffer, in line with the manufacturers protocol. Data presented as violin plots, with a solid line drawn at the median, dotted lines drawn at the quartiles, and overlaying symbols of individual mice. Non‐parametric comparison of mean ranks was performed using multiple Mann–Whitney tests, with Holm–Šídák correction method to account for multiple comparisons. ns P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01.
