Anhedonia-like behavior in BALB/c and C57BL/6 female mice during the postpartum period in the sucrose preference test. The sucrose preference test was performed in nulliparous, nonlactating primiparous, and lactating primiparous females of C57BL/6 J, C57BL/6 JJcl, BALB/cAnNCrlCrlj, BALB/cAJcl strains. Water intake and 1% sucrose intake were measured for two days, and sucrose preference (%) was calculated according to the formula: 100 × (sucrose intake/total solution intake). Values are means ± SEM. †p < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction (lactating primiparous vs. nonlactating primiparous)
