Figure 8.

Object recognition test of aged animals treated with vehicle or epicatechin for 4 weeks. Schematic representation of the object recognition test (A). Graphic representation of the object preference score during the training (B), during the short-term memory (1h) test (C) and during the long-term memory (24h) test (D). Values compare chance score of the object preference (0.5) vs. those recorded at day 28. (B) Discrimination index obtained from 28th recorded values divided by baseline values. Results are reported as latency time in seconds (s). (n=7/group, *p<0.05 vs. before, #p < 0.05 vs. AC).
