Maternal separation decreases FosB-positive cells in rats.
“In the PVN, the number of FosB expressing cells decreased with age; this effect was greater in NMS females.”

Maternal separation decreases 17β-estradiol in rats.
“Age-related decline in 17β-oestradiol (E2) was greater in NMS rats than CTRL.”

Maternal separation decreases ACE2 in rats (-35%).
“In old females, ACE2 activity was 35% less in NMS than CTRL.”
