Thigmotactic behavior was defined as the percentage of time and the percentage of distance animals swam in a 20 cm-wide zone from the wall of the pool. Results are presented as mean ± SEM of measures obtained during the first probe test from the same animals as in Fig. 4. According to the random effect ANOVA model followed by Tukey-Krammer post-hoc test for pairwise comparisons:
p < 0.05 (peanut oil-exposed males compared to peanut oil-exposed females);
p < 0.05 (peanut oil-exposed males compared to CPF-exposed males).
