Steps to reproduce
Endocrine (CORT and MEL), molecular (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, and C1s), and morphometric (body mass and SVL) data were initially submitted to the Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Some variables showed an absence of normality (MEL, IL-10, C1s, and body mass) and were subjected to the non-parametric independent samples test of Mann-Whitney. The variables fitting the parametric assumptions (CORT, IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, and SVL) were analyzed through independent samples t-test. Correlations were also used to investigate possible relations among the different variables inside each group. Any outliers identified were removed.
