Behavior tests of motor function and anxiety in male mice at 20, 23, and 26 months of age. (A) Grid wire hang test: maximum hanging impulse. (B) Grip strength test: relative peak force of forelimbs exerted on the force meter. (C) Rearing score: number of wall-contact rears by the front paws of the animal. (D) Open field test: total distance moved as a measure of locomotor activity. (E) Composite score of motor function tests (data from AD). (F) Open field test: time spent in the center region as a measure of anxiety (not included in the composite score of motor function tests). 20 months: n = 18–20; 23 months: n = 17–18; 26 months: n = 14–17/group. Diets: CD—control, IKD—intermittent ketogenic, KD—ketogenic. Data were analyzed by repeated measures two-way ANOVA followed with the Tukey’s or the Bonferroni multiple comparisons tests. ∗ p < 0.05 compared to the CD group at the same age. Different letters of a, b, or c denote difference (p < 0.05) between ages
