Fig. 4. Changes in total corticosterone (CORT) levels over 48 h of treatment with dermal patches containing CORT and patches with vehicle only (control; experiment 2). Minimum blood samples were collected prior to and 1, 3, 6 and 24 h (30 and 48 h when possible) after the patch application. After the 24 h sample, a new patch was applied. There was a marginal effect of treatment (P=0.094) on CORT levels.
