Brain and Serum Androsterone is Elevated in Response to Stress in Rats with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Brain and Serum Androsterone is Elevated in Response to Stress in Rats with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Exposure to lateral fluid percussion (LFP) injury consistent with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) persistently attenuates acoustic startle responses (ASRs) in rats. Here, we examined whether the experience of head trauma affects stress reactivity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were matched for ASRs...
