Figure 4 Cholinergic tones, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and acetyl choline (ACh) in the serum and prefrontal cortex (PFC). (A, B) AChE and ACh in the serum within every group. (C, D) AChE and ACh in the PFC within every group. Results are the mean±SEM, n=9 per group detected in the serum, n=6 per group detected in the PFC. * p<0.05, *** p<0.001 compared with the Normal group; # p<0.05, ## p<0.01, ### p<0.001 compared with the Stress group, ^^ p<0.01, ^^^ p<0.001 compared with the Phys+stress group. The figure was created using GraphPad Prism version 7.0 software.
