Figure 7. Effect of NH₄Cl treatment and low vitamin D diet on performance in Forced Swimming Test.

Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 12–30) of floating time of wild-type mice (WT, white bars) and kl/kl mice (kl/kl black bars) either untreated (Control, left bar), treated with 280 mM NH₄Cl solution (NH₄Cl, middle bars) or treated with NH₄Cl and a vitamin D deficient diet (LVD, right bars). *(p < 0.05) indicates statistically significant differences from untreated wild-type mice (Control); ^#(p < 0.05) indicates statistically significant differences from NH₄Cl treated kl/kl mice. (ANOVA).
