Elevated plus-maze values across sexes: means ± standard errors and p-values comparing control and mPAE animals.
Mean ± SEM | Control males (n = 9) | mPAE males (n = 9) | Control females (n = 9) | mPAE females (n = 9) |
---|---|---|---|---|
% Open arm time | 28.08 ± 3.16 | 30.08 ± 3.29 | 23.78 ± 6.51 | 19.68 ± 4.53 |
Open arm entries | 7.11 ± 0.86 | 7.78 ± 0.70 | 5.78 ± 1.14 | 4.89 ± 0.89 |
% Closed arm time | 71.92 ± 3.16 | 69.96 ± 3.30 | 76.22 ± 6.51 | 80.32 ± 4.53 |
Closed arm entries | 12.44 ± 1.26 | 11.89 ± 0.48 | 11.78 ± 0.89 | 13.44 ± 1.28 |
Stretch attends | 6.33 ± 0.75 | 5.89 ± 1.40 | 6.56 ± 1.04 | 5.75 ± 0.75 |
Head dips | 10.56 ± 1.37 | 10.89 ± 1.39 | 9.67 ± 2.33 | 5.5 ± 0.96 |
No measure of the elevated plus maze varied significantly across exposure groups, including % time in the open arm, % time in the closed arm, number of open arm entries, number of closed arm entries, number of stretch attends and number of head dips.
