Represents behavior of 4- (black bars), 13- (dark grey bars), and 24-(light grey bars) month-old intact rats administered subcutaneous injections of sesame oil vehicle (solid bars) or 3α-diol (checkered bars) in the inhibitory avoidance task (A), water maze (B), defensive freezing task (C), and forced swim task (D). *Denotes significant difference of 3α-diol administration compared to vehicle (p < 0.05). ^#Denotes tendency for differences of 13-month-old rats to 24-month-old rats (p < 0.075). * Over brackets denotes difference at that age group compared to age groups that do not have bracket above bars (p < 0.05).
