The influence of psychosocial stress on antioxidant enzymes (AOE) in the central nervous system is associated with mood disorders. To unravel systemic effects of psychosocial stress we aimed to investigate AOE activity in peripheral organs and erythrocytes of peripubertal rats due to social isolation during peripuberty. Social play with peers during this period is highly rewarding activity abundant in the young of most mammalian species. Absence of peer social support is associated with depression. Male peripubertal Wistar Han rats were either group-housed (3/cage) or single-housed (1/cage) du
