Figure 5. Apremilast does not alter preference for saccharin or water intake.
Effects of apremilast (20 mg/kg) on preference for saccharin (A), total fluid intake (B), and water intake (C) in male C57BL/6J mice; n= 6 per group for the saccharin experiment and n= 5-6 per group for the water experiment. Effects of apremilast (20 mg/kg) on preference for saccharin (D), total fluid intake (E), and water intake (F) in female C57BL/6J mice; n= 6 per group. For 2BC saccharin drinking, data represent the average of two days of drinking. For water intake using one bottle of water, data are presented as daily intake. S/S represents two days of saline injections for both groups. S/Drug represents two days of saline or apremilast injections (6 days total for saccharin experiment and 8 days total for water experiment). Data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc tests (*p < 0.05 compared with corresponding control time point).
