  1. F1: Oneway ANOVA F-statistic comparing baseline values between groups. F-statistic for group × time interaction in repeated measures ANOVA models is also tabulated for three different models in the left column: F2: Model for the early response to stress, with two intervals during the early stage of the stress test (baseline and 0–10 min). F6: Model for adaptation or potentiation during ongoing long-lasting stress, with six intervals during the stressful task (from 0–10 to 50–60 min). F3: Model to detect fast versus slow recovery patterns with three intervals during recovery (65–75, 75–85 and 85–95 min). p: Probabilities (degrees of freedom in parentheses) was adjusted for non-sphericity with Huyhn-Feldt's method. Significant interactions and trends in bold.
  2. * AU: Arbitrary units.
