Anxiety-related behaviour on the EPM as measured in naïve control and Y1−/− mice and in mice that had been exposed to the FST one week before the EPM test
| Genotype and treatment | Time on open arms (s) | Number of open arm entries |
|---|---|---|
| Naïve control mice | 60.1 ± 10.3 (n = 7) | 10.3 ± 1.84 (n = 7) |
| Naïve Y1−/− mice | 76.2 ± 16.0 (n = 8) | 10.1 ± 1.47 (n = 8) |
| Control mice 1 week after FST | 57.9 ± 8.72 (n = 7) | 10.1 ± 1.56 (n = 7) |
| Y1−/− mice 1 week after FST | 36.5 ± 10.9 (n = 8) | 8.25 ± 0.88 (n = 8) |
The table shows the time spent on the open arms and the number of entries into the open arms during the 5 min test session. The values represent means ± SEM, n as indicated in parenthesis. There were no significant differences at the P ≤ 0.05 level.
