Paper Summary

Chronic stress can lead to weight loss in rats by increasing a hormone called corticosterone. In a study with 34 rats, those exposed to stress had higher corticosterone levels and lost more weight compared to the control group. This suggests that stress can affect hormone levels and body weight in rats.
