---|---|---|---|---|
Open Field Distance Traveled | 50.6 +/− 5.9 | 126 +/− 28 | 149 +/− 26 | 143 +/− 26 |
Rotarod – Total time | 40.5 +/− 5.1 | 57.3 +/− 6.7 | 44.4 +/− 6.7 | 48.2 +/− 6.0 |
Y-Maze – Number of Entries | 38.9 +/− 3.6 | 51.8 +/− 10.1 | 44.4 +/− 8.9 | 46.4 +/− 4.8 |
Y-Maze - Alternations | 55.2 +/− 3.7 | 58.3 +/− 6.4 | 64.0 +/− 5.8 | 61.4 +/− 4.2 |
Our laboratory has observed that rTg4510 mice typically display much greater activity levels than NonTg mice, as mentioned above. Such activity is demonstrated here, by comparing distance traveled in the Open Field test, the time on the Rotarod and the number of entries in the Y-Maze. Slight increases are also shown in the number of alternations in the Y-Maze. Treatment of the rTg4510 mice with either MC-1 or Tau 5 did not significantly impact performance compared to IgG1 treatment.
