Westenbroek, C., Snijders, T. A., den Boer, J. A. et al.

Abstract

In conclusion: pair-housing had a stress-reducing effect on behavior in male rats. Isolation of females was stressful by itself. Pair housing of females was not able to prevent stress-induced behavioral changes completely, but appeared to reduce the effects of chronic stress.
