Fig. 1: Effect of immobilization and AHCC on norepinephrine (NE) levels in the plasma. NE was assayed by high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection. Data are shown as means ± SEM with the number of determinations in parentheses. *, p< 0.05 vs. control a, p< 0.05 vs. AHCC + IM Abbreviations used are as follows: IM, immobilization; AHCC, Active Hexose Correlated Compound.

Fig. 2: Effect of immobilization and AHCC on epinephrine (EP) levels in the plasma. EP was assayed by high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Data are shown as means ± SEM with the number of determinations in parentheses. *, p< 0.05 vs. control a, p< 0.05 vs. AHCC + IM.

Fig. 3: Effect of immobilization and AHCC on dopamine (DA) levels in the plasma. DA was assayed by high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Data are shown as means ± SEM with the number of determinations in parentheses. *, p< 0.05 vs. control a, p< 0.05 vs. AHCC + IM

Fig. 4: Effect of immobilization and AHCC on glucose levels in the serum. Glucose in the serum was assayed by glucose assay kit. Data are shown as means ± SEM with the number of determinations in parentheses. *, p< 0.05 vs. control a, p< 0.05 vs. AHCC + IM

Fig. 5: Effect of immobilization and AHCC on corticosterone levels in the plasma. Corticosterone was assayed by high- performance commercisl radioimmunoassay. Data are shown as means ± SEM with the number of determinations in parentheses. *, p< 0.05 vs. control a, p< 0.05 vs. AHCC + IM
